A mistake in an appearance notice or a summons can make the document invalid. It depends on how serious the mistake is. For example, if the document has the wrong date, it would have to be fixed and given to you again. But if the mistake is just a small typo, it may not have any effect. If you see a mistake in the document, you should still go to court at the required time. | A mistake in an appearance notice or a summons can make the document invalid.

If you have received an appearance notice, when you arrive at the court, check with the court registry or look for the “court list” to see if you have been charged. Crown counsel may have decided not to approve a criminal charge against you. | If you have received an appearance notice, when you arrive at the court, check with the court registry or look for the “court list” to see if you have been charged.
