If you are the defendant or the prosecutor, you can appeal to a second court against a decision made by the first appeal court under section 215 or section 217, but only if the second court says you can. You need to ask the second court for permission to appeal, and they will only say yes if they think it is necessary. The second court will consider your request if the case is important to many people or if something has gone wrong with the justice system.

If you are the defendant, you can also appeal to the second court against a decision made under section 218, but again, you need to ask for permission first. The High Court or the Court of Appeal will only give you permission if they think the case is important or if something has gone wrong with the justice system. They must be satisfied that the appeal is necessary before they will let it happen.
