Commentary on Sections Part 9: Prosecution Appeals Section 74: Interpretation of Part 9
309.Subsection (3) prevents the same ruling from being appealed against more than once. Subsection (4) provides that where a ruling relates to more than one offence any appeal does not affect the ruling in relation to an offence that is not the subject of the appeal. Subsection (5) provides that two defendants charged jointly with the same offence are to be treated as charged with separate offences. This, when read in conjunction with, say, section 58 (6), will mean that an appeal will be possible against a ruling so far as it relates to only one of the defendants.
