MITCanadaCriminal

The Criminal Code of Canada (R.S.C. 1985, c. C-46) as a navigable map — how the statute is organized and how to find things in it. Built by parsing the official consolidated text (laws-lois.justice.gc.ca, current to 2026-05-26), with Part ranges extracted programmatically from the body and cross-checked against the TOC. Covers: the full Part structure I–XXVIII with section ranges (the substantive Parts I–XIII vs the procedural/sentencing Parts XIV–XXVIII), and why decimal Parts and sections are insertions so section numbers cannot be arithmetic (320.4 comes after 320.104); the CLASSIFICATION system that drives everything — indictable vs summary vs hybrid, where 'hybrid' appears zero times in the Code and is expressed structurally as 'indictable … or … punishable on summary conviction' (345 occurrences), the s. 787 default summary penalty ($5,000 / two years less a day, the penitentiary-vs-jail line), and the s. 786(2) 12-month limitation that applies only to summary proceedings, can be waived by agreement, and has no indictable counterpart; general principles (s. 2 definitions, the s. 8(3) preservation of common-law defences against s. 9's bar on common-law offences, parties s. 21, counselling s. 22, accessory s. 23, attempts s. 24 where factual impossibility is no defence and the preparation line is a question of law); defences (self-defence s. 34 and its nine factors, defence of property s. 35, duress s. 17 whose 'immediate'/'present' words were struck in Ruzic but still print, necessity as pure common law, provocation s. 232 as a partial defence narrowed in 2015, mental disorder s. 16 and NCRMD, extreme intoxication s. 33.1 rewritten after Brown); where offences live (assault 265 and why sexual assault 271 has no separate definition, theft 322/334, break and enter 348, fraud 380, mischief 430 incl. computer data); procedure (the s. 493.1 release principle, s. 515 bail and its three grounds, the s. 535 preliminary inquiry narrowed to 14+ years on request, the s.
