The most complicated structure in the system was the manor court, whose business was divided into criminal, manorial, and civil. Its powers under the first head depended on the franchises enjoyed by the lord in the particular manor; for the most part only petty offenses were triable, such as small thefts, breaches of the assize of bread and ale, assaults, and the like...

OBS

The Assize of Bread and Ale (Latin: Assisa panis et cervisiae) was a 13th-century statute (assize) in late medieval English law, which regulated the price, weight and quality of the bread and beer manufactured and sold in towns, villages and hamlets.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Offences and crimes
  • Phraseology
CONT

[In the Criminal Code] crimes are ... divided into two classes: offences punishable on summary conviction [and] indictable offences. ... Summary conviction cases are the less serious offences. Following arrest or summons to appear in court, the accused person is tried by a magistrate without a jury.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Infractions et crimes
  • Phraséologie
CONT

En droit fédéral, on connaît deux types d'infractions, soit les actes criminels et les infractions punissables par voie de déclaration sommaire de culpabilité. [...] Il n'existe pas de différence de genre ou de nature entre les actes criminels (également désignés sous le vocable infractions punissables par voie de mise en accusation) et les infractions punissables par voie de déclaration sommaire de culpabilité (fréquemment appelées infractions sommaires ou infractions). La seule distinction réside dans la nature du mode de poursuite, la procédure étant plus complexe et plus lourde dans le cas des actes criminels et plus simple et plus expéditive en matière sommaire.

OBS

[...] l'expression «infraction sommaire» est fautive puisque ce n'est pas l'infraction qui est sommaire mais bien la procédure qui s'y applique.

DEF

The criminal law department of our jurisprudence; so called because the sovereign, in whom centres the majesty of the whole community, is supposed by the law to be the person injured by every wrong done to the community, and is, therefore, in all cases, the proper prosecutor for every such offence. Originally pleas of the Crown meant offences which were triable only in the king's courts.... After justices of the peace had been established all offences were included in the expression pleas of the Crown....

French

En common law, un crime est une atteinte à la paix et à la dignité du souverain. C'est donc en son nom que la Couronne porte plainte, et poursuit l'accusé au pénal.
