What is considered an offence that is less serious than an indictable offence?

A hybrid offence
A summary conviction offence
A federal offence
A procedural offence

The correct answer is: A summary conviction offence

A summary conviction offence is considered less serious than an indictable offence because it typically has a lower maximum penalty and is dealt with in a summary manner, meaning it does not require a full trial. A hybrid offence, although it can be considered less serious than an indictable offence, can also be prosecuted as an indictable offence, whereas a summary conviction offence can only be prosecuted as a summary conviction offence. A federal offence refers to offences under federal law and can vary in seriousness. A procedural offence is not an actual offence, but rather a violation of proper procedures. Therefore, it is not directly comparable to an indictable offence in terms of seriousness.
