274: First appeal court to determine appeal

You could also call this:

"The first appeal court makes a decision on your appeal, and can agree, change or cancel the original decision."

Illustration for Criminal Procedure Act 2011

When you make a first appeal, the first appeal court will decide what to do with it. The court can confirm the decision that was made before, which means they agree with it. The court can also vary the decision, which means they change it a bit, or set it aside, which means they cancel it.

The court has another option, which is to make any other order they think is appropriate. This means they can make a decision that is not listed here, as long as they think it is the right thing to do. You should know that the court's decision will be based on what they think is fair and right.
