Information (formal criminal charge)
text:
An information is a formal criminal charge which begins a criminal proceeding in the courts. The information is one of the oldest common law pleadings, and is nearly as old as the better-known indictment, with which it has always coexisted. Although the information has been abolished in England and Wales and Northern Ireland, it is still used in Canada, the United States and various other common law jurisdictions.
