Simple English definitions for legal terms

triable either way

Read a random definition: BW

A quick definition of triable either way:

Triable either way: A type of offense in English law that can be prosecuted in either the Crown Court or a magistrates' court. Some offenses are considered less serious and can only be tried in a magistrates' court, while others are more serious and can only be tried in the Crown Court. However, for offenses that are triable either way, the defendant can choose to be tried in the Crown Court with a judge and jury, or in a magistrates' court. If the defendant does not choose the Crown Court, the magistrates may decide to send the case to the Crown Court if they believe it is too serious for a magistrates' court trial.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Triable either way is a term used in English law to describe an offense that can be prosecuted in either the Crown Court or a magistrates' court.

For example, theft and most burglaries are considered triable either way. This means that the defendant can choose to be tried in the Crown Court, where there is a judge and jury, or in a magistrates' court. If the defendant chooses a magistrates' court trial, the magistrates may decide that the case is too serious and should be committed to the Crown Court for trial.

Another example of a triable either way offense is assault causing actual bodily harm. This offense can be prosecuted in either the Crown Court or a magistrates' court, depending on the severity of the case.

These examples illustrate the definition of triable either way because they show that certain offenses can be prosecuted in either court, giving the defendant the option to choose where they want to be tried. However, if the offense is deemed too serious by the magistrates, it will be committed to the Crown Court for trial.
