This section applies if justices convict or make an order against a person.
The justices must make a minute or memorandum of the conviction or order and sign it.
If neither the person nor the person’s lawyer or agent is present when the conviction is pronounced or the order is made, the clerk of the court must give written notice of the conviction or order by post to the person at the person’s last address known to the clerk.
A minute or memorandum made under this section does not form part of the warrant of commitment or execution.
If subsection (3) applies, a warrant of commitment or execution must not issue for at least 2 months from the day of the conviction or order, unless the adjudicating justices otherwise direct.
