(1) If an accused or
an accused’s lawyer asks a court for a copy of a prosecution notice
containing a charge against the accused that has been lodged with the court
and that has not been determined or dismissed, the court must provide one free
of charge, unless the request is unreasonable.
(2) Failure to comply
with subsection (1) does not invalidate the prosecution notice or the
commencement of the prosecution but may be grounds for adjourning the
prosecution.
