The judge of the court of trial may grant a certificate in Form 1 under section 8(1) or 17(1) of the Act, either of his own motion or at the request of a person convicted on indictment or found not guilty on the ground of insanity, as the case may be.

An application for the grant of a certificate may be made to the court of trial or lodged with the Registrar.

The Registrar shall forward a copy of any certificate granted by the judge of the court of trial to the person to whom it relates or to his solicitor.
