Bail Act forms regulation updated: future-commencement note removed and Form 4 citation added
FORMS — under the Bail Act
Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice
A housekeeping amendment to the Bail Act forms regulation has removed a forward-looking note that flagged when Forms 3 and 4 would come into force, indicating those forms are now in effect. At the same time, Form 4 (the Surety Reporting Form, used by sureties under the Act) has been updated to include its regulatory citation. The two prescribed forms affected are Form 3 (Security Deposit) and Form 4 (Surety Reporting Form), both available on the Ontario Court Forms website. Sureties, bail applicants, and their legal representatives should ensure they are using the current versions of these forms when filing documents under the Bail Act.
Who this affects: sureties posting bail · bail applicants · defence counsel · court staff processing bail documents
