Illustration for Criminal Procedure Act 2011

When an appeal court makes a decision, the Registrar must send a copy of the judgment to you and the other parties involved as soon as possible. The Registrar must also send a notice of the decision to the court that originally heard the case. You can find similar rules in earlier laws, such as the 1986 law and the 1961 law. The Registrar has to do these tasks after the appeal court has finished making its decision.
