348A: How appeal affects registration orders

You could also call this:

"What happens to registration orders when you appeal a crime conviction"

Illustration for Criminal Procedure Act 2011

If you are found guilty of a crime and you appeal, something might happen to a registration order made about you. A registration order is made under section 9 of the Child Protection (Child Sex Offender Government Agency Registration) Act 2016. When you appeal, the time you have to report as part of the order stops on the day you file your appeal. You have to wait and see what happens with your appeal. The time you have to report starts again when your appeal is dismissed, or when you are not allowed to appeal, or when your appeal is decided and you are still guilty.
