A summons issued by the CASEMAN computer system without a signature or seal was not invalid: absence of signature/seal did not affect the substance of the prescribed form and s37(1) preserves such deviations; the presumption of regularity applies and is only displaced by prima facie evidence to the contrary, which was absent; the magistrate erred in holding the summons invalid and in finding no sufficient evidence that the information was properly laid.
