379A: Right of appeal in certain cases
or “This rule used to let people ask for a second opinion on some decisions made before a trial, but it's no longer in use.”
You could also call this:

“You can ask for another review if you don't agree with a decision about your case before the trial starts.”

This part of the law used to be about appealing decisions made by the Court of Appeal. The Court of Appeal is a higher court that reviews decisions made by lower courts. However, this section has been removed from the law. It was taken out on 1 July 2013. This means that the rules it contained no longer apply. If you want to know more about appealing court decisions now, you would need to look at other parts of the law that are still in effect.
