As indicated above, this directive is directed at less serious offences. The following factors are relevant in determining the seriousness of an offence:. Crown counsel must also ascertain whether the offence is the subject of legislation, directives or guidelines that could affect the decision to address the conduct through an alternative measure. After considering the circumstances above, if Crown counsel nevertheless concludes that exceptional circumstances exist that render the use of alternative measures in the public interest in a given case, or considers the case borderline, Crown counsel must consult the Chief Federal Prosecutor, or his or her designate, before making a decision.
Crown counsel are encouraged to give early consideration to the appropriateness of alternative measures, in addition to responding to any overtures from defence counsel. The charges should be withdrawn following the completion of the alternative measure to the satisfaction of the Crown. Crown counsel should encourage the court to endorse the information to indicate that charges were withdrawn for alternative measures.
The Crown file, including the electronic file, should be documented accordingly. If charges were not laid before the alternative measure was used, a prosecution should proceed if the alternative measure was not completed to the satisfaction of the Crown.
If the offender fails to complete the alternative measure, criminal proceedings should ordinarily be continued. C , c. Navigation menu Personal tools. Namespaces Page Discussion.
