Form 48: Assessment Order of the

Court

This form is contained in the Criminal Code. It has been modied slightly

in order to permit the administrator of the hospital to return the accused

to court earlier than anticipated if the assessment is complete prior to the

return date on the information.

When an accused is to be returned to court earlier than anticipated,

the administrator issues a letter that authorizes the wagon to pick up the

accused and take them to court. The administrator contacts the court

clerk at the court, who adds the information to the list. Duty counsel will

notify counsel if the accused has retained counsel or, alternatively, will

take instructions.
