Illustration for Criminal Procedure Act 2011

If a second appeal court says a second appeal is allowed, this section applies to you. The second appeal court can make any decisions that the first appeal court could have made if the first appeal was allowed. This means the second appeal court has the same powers as the first appeal court in this situation.
