The consequences of acting as a good samaritan, coming to the aid of a third person in a moment of distress or peril, are often such as would subject the good samaritan to criminal liability. Both the common law and statutory law have therefore developed various defences for the benefit of a good samaritan charged with an offence in Canada.
