CRIMINAL CODE 1899 - SECT 672
Appeals from the decisions of the Court
672 Appeals from the decisions of the Court
(1) Where an appeal to the Court is upheld, and the appellant is entitled to
have the conviction against the appellant quashed by order of the Court, the
Court may, upon application on behalf of the Crown, at any time before the
release of such appellant, either by the same or by a separate order, direct
that execution of the order quashing the appellant’s conviction be stayed
for such time (not exceeding 7 days) as the Court thinks fit; and the Court or
a judge thereof shall thereupon make such order for the detention of the
appellant or the appellant’s return to any former custody, or for granting
bail to the appellant, as the Court or judge thinks fit, for the time during
which such stay has been directed.
(2) The Court or a judge thereof may, upon
application by or on behalf of the Crown Law Officer, make such order for the
detention of the appellant or for granting bail to the appellant pending the
hearing of an appeal to the High Court of Australia as the Court or a judge
may think fit, and may at any time vary or rescind such order.
(3) On the
application of any appellant deeming himself or herself wronged by any failure
to diligently prosecute such appeal, the Court or a judge thereof may order
the immediate execution of the original order of the Court quashing the
conviction, and may order the appellant’s immediate release, and the Court
may further, if it thinks fit, award the appellant such compensation as
appears just.
