What are the consequences of a breach of recognizance?

Yukon, Canada


The following excerpt is from R. v. Murphy, 2017 YKSC 34 (CanLII):

The breach of recognizance offences which she committed on September 28, 2014 were for failing to abstain from alcohol and failing to remain in her residence. The breaches she committed on June 11, 2015 were similarly for not abstaining from alcohol and for not keeping the peace and being of good behaviour. As noted by Lilles J. in R v. Schab, quoted above, arguably none of those activities would have been illegal but for the fact that they were subject to conditions of the offender’s bail: certainly the two offences of failing to abstain would not have been illegal.
