407: Transitional provision relating to abandonment of appeals to Court of Appeal

You could also call this:

"Rules for appeals to the Court of Appeal that were already happening when this law started"

Illustration for Criminal Procedure Act 2011

If you have a criminal appeal to the Court of Appeal, this section might apply to you. This happens if your appeal is already with the court when this section starts, or if you file a notice to appeal on or after this section begins. You can think of it like a timeline - if your appeal is happening around the time this section comes into force, it will apply to you.

When this section applies to your appeal, certain rules will be in place. These rules are found in sections 338 and 339. These sections are considered to be in force and will apply to your appeal.
