384: Right of appeal against sentence or conviction for contempt of court
or “ You can ask for a new decision if you think you were unfairly punished for not following court rules. ”
You could also call this:

“This rule used to explain how to handle appeals when different courts are involved, but it's not used anymore.”

This section of the law is no longer in effect. It was removed on 1 July 2013. The section used to talk about which courts could hear certain appeals, but now it doesn’t apply anymore. If you need to know about appeals in criminal cases, you should look at other parts of the Crimes Act 1961 or ask a lawyer for help.
