Criminal Procedure Act 2011

Appeals - Appeals on question of law - Further appeals

310: Relationship to other appeals

You could also call this:

"You can't appeal the same decision twice under different laws, unless a court lets you."

Illustration for Criminal Procedure Act 2011

If you appeal against a ruling under this part of the law, you cannot appeal against the same ruling under a different part of the law. You can only do this if the first appeal court lets you withdraw your first appeal and gives you more time to file a new appeal. The law about this is similar to what was in the 1986 legislation, which you can find on the government's website.
