Canadian criminal law allows for a common law defence of necessity. Necessitas non habet legem; Necessity knows no law. This well-known maxim reflects the theoretical basis of the defence of necessity: that in dire circumstances of looming peril, the claims of positive law seems to weaken.
This controversial common law or judge-made defence has only been firmly recognized in Canadian law since 1984.
It is recognized in Canada as a defence for crimes committed in urgent situations of clear and imminent peril in which the accused has no safe avenue of escape or legal way out of the situation.
