95.1. In criminal or penal matters, the notice referred to in the second paragraph of article 95 is not required when the compensation sought relates to the disclosure or exclusion of evidence or the period of time elapsed since the accusation, or in the cases determined by order of the Minister of Justice published in the Gazette officielle du Québec.
In all other cases, the notice must be served at least 10 days before the date the application for compensation is heard. Otherwise, the court orders the notice to be served and postpones the hearing, unless the Attorney General waives such notice or shortens the period of notice because the court judges it necessary to prevent irreparable harm to the person applying for compensation or a third party.
