“Factums, Do I Need One?”

I am posting this in here as well as the "6 demerit sub forum" see if i can get more of a response.

i am helping a friend fill out the form4f, factum and affidavit for non disclosure.

he has been charged with careless after his truck left the road on a tight corner while it was raining.

he has requested disclosure twice and still not received or heard anything.

what i would like to know is what exactly is a factum and what should it contain?

is it absolutely necessary?

any help is appreciated.

thanks.

You should have a factum. A factum is where you explain how the Crown handled the case and how they infringed your friend's Charter rights, with references to case law, etc. Here's a general overview of the 4F, Factum and Affadavit:

And a link to some suggestions for writing a factum:

thanks,

I've been reading that site. I was kinda hoping someone had an example factum for non disclosure.

is there a format that it must be written in? such as the form4f and the affidavit.

Is it just a matter of itemizing your points and then providing case law to support your case for non disclosure?

thanks.

I think this web page might have a little more info:

Thanks once again. That's a cool link.

I think i have it sorted, i looked at all the example factums on ticket combat and pieced together one that should suit my friends needs.

Cheers.
