Endorsements on the Information

Where an election is made to supreme court, either judge alone or judge and jury, the court must endorse the information showing the "nature of the election" and whether anyone requested a preliminary inquiry.

Where an election is made to provincial court before a provincial court judge, the court must endorse the information with that election.

Validity of Orders

Validity of Forms (Part XXVIII)

Forms

849 (1) The forms set out in this Part [Pt. XXVIII – Dispositions diverses (art. 841 à 849)], varied to suit the case, or forms to the like effect are deemed to be good, valid and sufficient in the circumstances for which they are provided.

Seal not required

(2) No justice is required to attach or affix a seal to any writing or process that he or she is authorized to issue and in respect of which a form is provided by this Part [Pt. XXVIII – Dispositions diverses (art. 841 à 849)].

Official languages

(3) Any pre-printed portions of a form set out in this Part, varied to suit the case, or of a form to the like effect shall be printed in both official languages.
2002, c. 13, s. 84.

Section 849(3) requires that the text found in forms in Part XXVIII of the Code must be in both languages.

Failure to have the forms bilingual will not invalidate the court document and is merely a "formal defect" unless the form is used in New Brunswick, which requires bilingualism by statute.
