Commentary on Sections Part 2:  Prevention Orders Section 29:  Appeals
105.A person may appeal against the making of a STRO or an interim STRO, or the decision under section 27 to vary, renew or discharge an order to the Crown Court (subsection (1)).
106.Subsection (2) sets out the powers of the Crown Court when determining an appeal. It will be open to the court to revoke the order or to amend its provision (either the duration or the prohibitions contained in it).
107.Subsection (3) provides that in cases specified in the subsection an order made by a Crown Court on an appeal is treated as if it were an order of the court from which the appeal was brought. For example, an order by the Crown Court on an appeal from a decision of the magistrates’ court under section 23 is treated as if it was an order of the magistrates’ court for the purposes of a subsequent application to vary that order.
