Read the charge beside the communication
Keep the exact count and mark the words said to concern threatened harm. Identify who is alleged to have spoken or written them, when and to whom. Do not replace the words with a broad summary. Counsel must assess the statutory category and evidence; unpleasant or insulting language is not automatically an uttering-threats offence.
Keep different statements separate
If the papers refer to several statements or types of harm, give each its own source and surrounding exchange. A conclusion about one statement should not be assumed to answer another. Context and the required intent need review for the actual allegation; intention to carry out the words is a different question from the intent required for the offence.
Prepare a response through counsel rather than new contact
Keep complete release terms available. Do not send an explanation, apology or request for clarification through prohibited direct or indirect contact. Preserve records already held and identify fuller material that may exist. This page explains defence; someone seeking a protective order should use the separate guide rather than assuming this enquiry files an application.
Preparing for the first conversation
- Exact count and each statement attributed to you.
- Original communication and surrounding exchange.
- The harm category alleged, identifying any uncertainty.
- Current direct and indirect contact terms.
Keep the initial website enquiry brief. Do not upload or send sensitive documents through the form; arrange any document review directly with the firm.
You do not need every item before getting in touch. Mention any approaching court or response date.
Common questions
Is every insult an uttering-threats offence?
No. The alleged communication, statutory category, context and required elements need assessment.
Can one explanation cover several alleged statements?
Keep each statement and its context separate for review. Their meaning and evidentiary sources may differ.
Does not planning to act settle the charge?
Not by itself. The intent required for the offence differs from an intention to carry out the words.
