Breach of Bail, Probation, and Other Court Orders: Consequences and Defences
Offences against the administration of justice encompass several charges, including failing to appear for court, breaching bail, and obstruction of justice. Contrary to popular belief, breaching bail is a serious offence in the eyes of the law and may carry more weight than the original charge.
Being found guilty of such crimes can lead to difficulties in securing bail in the future and typically results in jail time. It’s important not to underestimate the severity of violating bail or other administration of justice offences. However, an experienced lawyer can offer various defences for these seemingly indefensible offences.

DISCLAIMER: Please note that every criminal case is unique and comes with its own set of challenges. Just because our lawyers have achieved favourable results in past cases of breaching probation, bail, or other similar cases for our clients, it does not mean that the same result can be guaranteed for present or future clients. We assess each case based on its unique characteristics and tailor our approach accordingly, focusing on the individual rather than just the crime.
