Crimes Act 1961

Appeals - Appeal on matters arising before trial

379A: Right of appeal in certain cases

You could also call this:

“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 used to have the right to appeal in certain cases. This means you could ask a higher court to review a decision made about your case. However, this right was removed on 1 July 2013. The law that allowed this appeal was taken out of the Crimes Act 1961. If you want to know more about why this change happened, you can look at section 6 of the Crimes Amendment Act (No 4) 2011.
