This section of the law, called ‘Powers of appellate courts in special cases’, used to be part of the rules about appealing a conviction or sentence. However, it’s no longer in use. The government removed this section on 1 July 2013. This means that if you’re looking for information about what special powers courts have when hearing appeals, you’ll need to check other parts of the law or newer rules that might have replaced this section.
