### sec.386 General particulars only are required on a notice to appear
The statement in the notice to appear of the substance of the offence alleged to have been committed need only provide general particulars of the offence, for example—
the type of offence; and
when and where it is alleged to have been committed.
If 2 or more matters are properly joined in 1 notice to appear under the Justices Act 1886 , section 43 (1) , then, despite section 43 (2) and (3) of that Act—
each matter need not be set out in a separate paragraph; and
objection can not be taken to the notice to appear because each matter is not set out in a separate paragraph.
