Crimes Act 1961

Appeals - Appeal against conviction or sentence

383A: Appeal against decision of Court of Appeal on appeal against conviction or sentence

You could also call this:

“You can ask for another look at a decision about being guilty or getting punished.”

This section of the law used to be about appealing against a decision made by the Court of Appeal. The Court of Appeal might have made a decision about someone’s conviction (when they were found guilty of a crime) or their sentence (the punishment they received). However, this part of the law doesn’t exist anymore. It was removed on 1 July 2013. This means you can’t use this specific rule to appeal a decision from the Court of Appeal now.
