388: Time for appealing
or “This explains when you need to ask for another look at your case if you think the court made a mistake.”
You could also call this:

“Courts that hear appeals can use extra powers to help make decisions.”

This part of the law used to talk about extra powers that courts had when dealing with appeals against convictions or sentences. However, it’s no longer in use. The government removed this section on 1 July 2013. If you want to know more about appeals, you might need to look at other parts of the law that are still active.
