Criminal Code Forms

Each of the 54 forms each deal with a function or step in the legal process. For example, Form 1 provides what information is needed when applying for a search warrant. Form 5 is a "warrant to search." It demands that the name of the police force conducting the search be included, as well as what is being sought "on reasonable grounds" in the belief it is on the premises and during which hours the warrant is valid.

Many of the forms are very simple to fill out while others are much more detailed. For example, Form 52, Order to Comply with the Sex Offender Information Registration Act, lists eight points that are relevant to sex offenders whose names are to be included in the registry. That includes what information is gathered, how to correct any errors and the fact they can be fined or imprisoned for providing false information.
