Robbery Offences

Robbery is a hybrid offence containing elements of larceny and assault.

There must be an unlawful taking and carrying away of property with the intention of permanently depriving the owner or person in lawful possession thereof. The property must be taken without the consent of the owner, and “consent” obtained by force or by threat (putting that person in fear of violence) is no consent.

WHAT IS YOUR NEXT STEP ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH THE OFFENCE?

If you have been charged with a robbery offence, you will be taken to the local police station and questioned.

You will be provided with a Court Attendance Notice to which you must comply. At this stage, you should consult Brydens Lawyers so you may be able to obtain legal advice as soon as possible.

WHAT ARE YOU
ABLE TO APPEAL?

Should an offence be proven and you are found guilty, you may be able to appeal the offence within 28 days to a higher Court.

If your offence is proven in the Local Court, you may appeal to the District Court.

If your offence is proven in the District Court, you may appeal to the Court of Criminal Appeal.

WHEN SHOULD YOU
CONSULT A LAWYER?

You should consult a lawyer once you have been provided with the relevant documentation relating to the offences you have been charged with.

In January I lost my license for 6 months due to a medical condition. I got in contact with Avinash Singh from Brydens Lawyers, straight away Avinash put me at ease. Within a week my license was renewed, and I was able to drive again. I was so impressed with the dealings I had with Avinash and Brydens Lawyers, I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them to my family of friends.

Avinash made us feel at ease and has taken the stress from us. Today I can say we are much happier as a family and we have our son back.
