DROIT, organised by the Barreau de Montréal. . DESPITE THE PASSAGE OF TIME, YOU ARE NOT PROTECTED FROM CRIMINAL

ACCUSATIONS.

WHY? Because in Canada, there is no statute of limitations for criminal acts. For example,

maybe someone who was a victim of sexual assault a few years ago decides to file a

complaint today, they can do so, regardless of the amount of time that has passed. Did you know that with the constant evolution of technology the law evolves as well?

For example, a crime committed 30 years ago where DNA samples from it were collected

and still kept on file could lead to criminal accusations against you if you were now convicted

of an unrelated crime and as a result you had to give up a sample of your DNA.
