Defending Against Forcible Confinement Charges

The act of holding someone in one location against their will through coercion, threats, or physical restraint is referred to as forcible confinement. Just like kidnapping, forcible confinement carries harsh penalties upon conviction.

This offence revolves around limiting another person’s liberty, even in the slightest ways. For example, if you restrict your partner’s path during a heated domestic argument, you may be charged with forcible confinement alongside other domestic violence charges.

If youโ€™re facing forcible confinement charges, enlist the services of a criminal defence lawyer as soon as possible. Theyโ€™ll help you navigate the justice system, develop a strong defence strategy, and protect your rights. Call Zamani Law for a free, no-obligation consultation.

Penalties for Forcible Confinement

Confinement is a serious criminal offence with severe penalties upon conviction. As per the provisions of section 272 (2) of the Criminal Code:

  • Every one who, without lawful authority, confines, imprisons, or forcibly seizes another person is guilty of:
  1. An indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years
  2. An offence punishable on summary conviction and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding eighteen months
