Start a summary conviction appeal without retyping appellant and counsel details

Appellants filing a notice of appeal under sections 813 or 830 of the Criminal Code repeat appellant identity, counsel contacts, lower court particulars, and offence details on every Form 2 notice under Rule 40. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.
