Editing Summons (section)

===Australia===
In the Australian state of [[New South Wales]] (NSW) the service of a court attendance notice can be issued in a number of ways, the most common of which is by the [[NSW Police Force]] when charging someone after an arrest is made, a bail court attendance notice (with bail conditions) or regular court attendance notice is issued. Other methods the police use include via a paper form called a field court attendance notice (field CAN) which is issued to the accused person on the spot after an offence has been detected. Or by way of a future court attendance notice (future CAN), which replaced the old court issued summons and is served in person by police or sometimes by mail. In all of these cases, the CAN is filed at the court after it has been served.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Weatherburn|first1=Don|last2=Fitzgerald|first2=Jacqueline|title=The impact of the NSW Bail Act (2013) on trends in bail and remand in New South Wales|url=http://apo.org.au/node/56692|date=2015|publisher=NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research|page=2|isbn=978-1-921824-99-9}}</ref>
