Form SJ-1233A is used to bring an application to the Court in an already-open penal file (e.g. a statement of offence), for any measure that has no specific form of its own.
The form's instructions state that the application must be sworn before a Commissioner for Oaths, a clerk, or another person authorized to administer the oath.
The oath, in brief
Form SJ-1233A contains a declaration under oath (or a solemn affirmation): it must be signed before a person legally authorized to receive it — a Commissioner for Oaths, notary, lawyer, clerk, or justice of the peace.
In Québec, a Commissioner for Oaths can administer this oath remotely, by videoconference, when the required conditions are met (seeing and hearing each other, viewing the document, keeping it confidential).
Where to get the document
Form SJ-1233A is published in French only by Québec's Ministère de la Justice. No official English version of this specific document is currently published — the organization's English page lists the same category of forms.
