The Criminal Appeal (Amendment) Rules 2004
These Rules substitute rules 11 and 12 of the Criminal Appeal Rules 1968 so as to take account of new sections 31B (procedural directions) and 31C (appeals against procedural directions) of the Criminal Appeal Act 1968, inserted by section 87(3) of the Courts Act 2003. New section 31B will allow either the registrar, or a single judge, to give procedural directions. New section 31C provides both the appellant and the prosecutor with a right of appeal either to a single judge (following a determination by the registrar) or to the full Court (following a determination by a single judge).
