That sentence, in plain words

The ask must be on paper. It must list the proof. It must name the crime. It must come with copies of papers that show the right to help.

What this is about

This is a short list of what goes in the ask. A court can turn down an ask that leaves something out. But it must then give time to fix it.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
