DESIGNATION OF COUNSEL
(Pursuant to s. 650.01 of the Criminal Code)
I ______(“the accused”) appoint Al Pazuki (“Counsel”) to act as my designated counsel in this matter pursuant to section 650.01 of the Criminal Code.
I understand that by signing the designation of counsel form, Counsel or any agent/student/counsel/or staff member may appear on my behalf in any part of my criminal proceedings.
I understand that despite the filing of the designation of counsel form with the court, I may be required by Counsel to appear for my court proceedings.
I understand that it is my responsibility to communicate with Counsel on a regular basis to determine if my attendance is required on the next court date.
I understand that failure to attend court is a criminal offence. Failure to appear for my court date as a result of failing to communicate with Counsel or for any other reason is my own responsibility and may result in my arrest.
I further understand that failure to meet my obligations under the “retainer agreement” will nullify this designation of counsel form and I will be responsible to appear on my own behalf. Counsel will no longer be obligated to act on my behalf. (subject to the Court)
