186 Findings of guilt etc. not voidable for want of form (1) No finding of guilt or order of the Court, or other proceedings before the Court, shall be void or voidable, or liable to be quashed, annulled, or set aside in any manner, by reason of any deficiency in the statement of the offence therein described, if the offence is stated in the words of the Act creating the offence, or if it appears that the offence was one against the true intent and meaning of that Act. (2) No judgment, finding of guilt, or order of the Court, or other proceedings before the Court, shall be quashed or set aside for any mere matter of form or technical error, or mistake in any name, date, or title, or in any matter of description only; but in all cases regard shall be had alone to the substantial merits and justice of the case.
