If you want to appeal a decision about changing a prison sentence to home detention, this section applies. You can appeal if a court decides to let someone apply to change their sentence, or if the court says no to this application, under section 80I or 80K(7). This is for the purposes of filing and determining your appeal.

When you appeal, the court's decision about changing a sentence is treated like a sentence itself, for the purposes of Part 6 of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011. This means the court's decision under section 80I or 80K(7) is considered a sentence. You need to follow the rules for appealing a sentence.
