Summary offences make up most matters heard in the Magistrates’ Court and can include disorderly behaviour, assault, driving offences and damage to property.

What is an Indictable offence?

Indictable offences are usually more serious offences. An accused person has the right to have their matter determined in a higher court before a judge and/or jury. Indictable offences can range from theft, cause injury and drug offences to more serious matters such as rape, armed robbery, murder and treason.
