If you are on trial for a serious crime and you chose to have a jury, you can appeal some decisions made by the court before the trial starts. You can appeal if the court refuses to make you, the prosecutor, provide more details about the charge against you, as stated in section 18. You can also appeal if the court decides to move your trial to a different court, as stated in section 157, but you need to get permission from the appeal court first.

You can only appeal these decisions if you are on trial for a category 3 or 4 offence. The court will consider your appeal, but only if they give you permission to do so. This means you have to ask the appeal court if you can appeal, and they will decide if they will hear your case.
