Section 190: Description of persons in criminal process

(1) Where in a complaint, summons, warrant of any description, charge sheet, information or any document whatsoever issued by a court in the exercise of its criminal jurisdiction, it is necessary to refer to a person, the description or designation of that person shall be such as is reasonably sufficient to identify him except as provided under section 232 of this Act.
(2) It shall not be necessary to state the person's correct name, or his residence, style, degree, or occupation, so far as the person has been reasonably described to identify him.
(3) Where it is impracticable to give the person's correct and exact description or designation because the name or the description or designation of the person is not known or for any other reason, the description or designation shall be given as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances, or the person may, subject to subsection (4) of this section, be described as 'Person Unknown'.
(4) A defendant who is accused of an offence shall not be described as 'a person unknown' except in the case of a verdict found on a coroner's inquisition.
