Appeals - Appeal against conviction or sentence

390: Duty of Solicitor-General

You could also call this:

“The Solicitor-General's job in helping with appeals against convictions or sentences has been removed from the law.”

The ‘Duty of Solicitor-General’ section, which was part of the ‘Appeal against conviction or sentence’ in the Crimes Act 1961, no longer exists. It was removed from the law on 1 July 2013. This means that this specific duty is not a part of the current law anymore.
