"A higher court decides if you win or lose your second appeal"

Illustration for Criminal Procedure Act 2011

If you make a second appeal, a second appeal court will decide on it. The court will follow the rules in this section to make its decision. You will win your appeal if the court agrees with you on any of the grounds described in section 232(2).

The court will look at your case and decide if you should win your appeal. If the court is not satisfied with your grounds for appeal, it will dismiss your appeal. This means the court will not allow your appeal to proceed if it does not agree with you on any of the grounds.
