Treatment Order (Section 672.58)

This form is not contained in the Criminal Code. The following form is a

creation of one of this book’s authors, Richard Schneider. It is a modied

version of a form produced by the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney Gen-

eral. 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

treatment has been successful, and the accused rendered t, 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 delivery of the accused

back 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.
