Court Decisions
C-25.1 - Code of Penal Procedure
Section 191.0.1
Disposition versions
191.0.1. Despite Division IX of Chapter I, where proceedings are tried under articles 188, 189 and 191, any relevant evidence, which offers reasonable guarantees of reliability, is admissible, in particular documentary evidence and written depositions of witnesses. However, the judge may, if the interests of justice so require, compel a witness to attend and testify.
The judge may render judgment by default on the face of the record, in the courtroom or in chambers or another place serving as chambers.
