against the form of the statute

against the form of the statute. Contrary to the statutory requirements. • This formal phrase, which traditionally concludes an indictment, indicates that the conduct alleged contravenes the cited statute and therefore constitutes a criminal offense. In modern contexts, the full conclusion often reads: “against the form of the statute in such case made and provided.” The phrase is a translation of the Law Latin contra formam statuti. [Cases: Indictment and Information 32(4).]
