387: Revesting and restitution of property on conviction
or “Property taken during a crime gets returned to its owner if the person is found guilty.”
You could also call this:

“This explains when you need to ask for another look at your case if you think the court made a mistake.”

You used to have a specific time limit for appealing a conviction or sentence. However, this rule no longer applies. The law that set this time limit was removed on 1 July 2013. If you want to know about the current rules for appealing, you should look at other parts of the law that might explain the new process.
