406A: Appeals against decisions made on references

You could also call this:

“This law explained how people could challenge decisions made about their cases if they thought something wasn't fair.”

This section of the Crimes Act 1961 has been removed. It used to be about appeals against decisions made on references, but it no longer exists in the law. The government took it out on 1 July 2020 when they made changes to the Criminal Cases Review Commission Act 2019.
