383A: Appeal against decision of Court of Appeal on appeal against conviction or sentence
or “You can ask for another look at a decision about being guilty or getting punished.”
You could also call this:

“ You can ask for a new decision if you think you were unfairly punished for not following court rules. ”

This part of the law used to tell you about your right to appeal if you were found guilty of contempt of court or if you were given a sentence for contempt of court. However, this section no longer exists in the law. It was removed on 1 July 2013. If you want to know about your rights in this situation now, you would need to look at other parts of the law that are still in effect.
