Some very minor charges are only charged as a summary offense and the most serious only can be indictable. Many charges fall in between this spectrum and can be charged either way. All hybrid offenses are considered indictable until the crown attorney decides how they want to prosecute you.

The difference between summary offense and indictable?

Summary offences are dealt with by a magistrate in the Magistrates' Court. They include less serious offences, and can be punishable by shorter prison sentences and smaller fines. Accused must not necessarily be in person for the trial. Jury trials or preliminary inquiries are not held. Indictable offences are more serious. They can be heard in a higher court (the County Court or Supreme Court) by a judge and jury. Accused must necessarily be in person for the trial. Preliminary inquires are held.
