In simplest terms, ‘Mischief’ means causing damage to someone else’s property. Most Mischief related offences are hybrid offences, meaning the crown will determine whether they wish to process summarily or by indictment. It is important to note that most mischief convictions will unlikely result in any jail time. Depending on the property damages, along with the circumstances of the accused and the offence itself, a defence counsel might be able to negotiate a withdrawal of the criminal charges if restitution is paid for the damage caused.
