Common Questions
Mischief charge questions Oakville clients often ask.
Can insurance records help in a mischief defence?
They may. Insurance records can help test value, prior condition, causation, and what repairs were actually required.
What if the property was expensive?
Value may affect strategy, but the Crown still has to prove identity, intent, damage or interference, and causation.
Can I arrange repairs through a contractor?
Do not arrange repairs or payment without legal advice, especially if contact or admissions could affect the case.
