CONT

[...] failure to attend a court date related to a criminal case can have severely adverse consequences to a defendant. [...] if a person does not make a court appearance when requested, a default warrant can be issued. While the underlying basis for a default warrant differs from that of an arrest warrant, the resulting action is essentially the same – with both warrants, the police have the power to arrest the defendant. Once a warrant has been issued by a court, the original case which brought the defendant to court in the first place is temporarily suspended until the defendant returns to court to remove the warrant.

CONT

Lorsqu’une personne n’assiste pas à son procès, pour une infraction au Code criminel, un défaut mandat est émis contre elle. Ce document oblige la personne à se présenter devant un juge. Ainsi, si elle se fait interpeller par un policier, ce dernier pourra la détenir le temps qu’un juge soit disponible afin qu’elle comparaisse devant lui.
