I don't know about the CAA, but the FAA routinely tacks on a 'reckless endangerment' charge onto almost every violation (the comparable sections to 73 and 74 of the ANO). This has included altitude deviations, poor fuel planning, continued VFR into IMC, operation with inoperative equipment, failure to divert on a timely basis, etc.
