Plain English
If you think a case should be heard by a jury instead of a judge‑only inquiry, you file this form. It tells the court you object and asks the court to consider a jury trial.
Submission Date
- File the notice within 14 days of the court’s order for an inquiry, or before the scheduled hearing date if the order does not specify a deadline.
- Preparation window: collect IDs, supporting records, and signatures in advance.
- Final review: verify names, dates, and required fields before submission.
What this form is for
- • When you want to object to a judge‑only inquiry
- • When you wish to insist on a jury trial in a criminal case
- • When the court has already ordered an inquiry and you disagree
- • When you need to formally record your objection in the court record

| General case information update | Form No.5 (Notice of Change of Address) | Not an objection | Use for contact details only |
