Duties of registrar

671H Duties of registrar

(1) The registrar shall take all necessary steps for obtaining a hearing of any appeals or applications, notice of which is given to the registrar, and shall obtain and lay before the Court in proper form all documents, exhibits, and other things relating to the proceedings in the court of trial which appear necessary for the proper determination of the appeal or application.
(2) If it appears to the registrar that any notice of appeal or of application for leave to appeal against a conviction or sentence does not show any substantial ground of appeal, the registrar may refer the appeal to the Court for summary determination; and the Court may thereupon, if it considers that the appeal is frivolous or vexatious, dismiss the appeal summarily without calling upon any person to attend the hearing.
(3) The registrar shall furnish the necessary forms and instructions in relation to notices of appeals or notices of application to any person who demands the same, and to officers of courts, the chief executive (corrective services), and to such other officers or persons as the registrar thinks fit, and the chief executive (corrective services) shall cause such forms and instructions to be placed at the disposal of prisoners desiring to appeal or to make any application, and shall cause any such notice given by a prisoner for whom the chief executive (corrective services) has responsibility to be forwarded on behalf of the prisoner to the registrar.
