Crimes Act 1961

Appeals - Appeal against conviction or sentence

391: Costs of appeal

You could also call this:

“This rule about who pays for an appeal in court was removed and is no longer used.”

This section of the law, called ‘Costs of appeal’, used to be about the expenses involved when you appeal against a conviction or sentence. However, it’s no longer part of the current law. The government removed this section on 1 April 1968. If you want to know about the current rules for costs in criminal cases, you should look at a different law called the Costs in Criminal Cases Act 1967.
