A LAW to constitute a Court of Appeal, to amend the law relating to appeals in civil and criminal cases, and to provide for matters ancillary thereto
There shall be a Court of Appeal with such jurisdiction as is conferred upon it by this Law.

An ordinary judge of the Court of Appeal shall hold office during good behaviour.

Every ordinary judge of the Court of Appeal shall, upon taking office, take oath in the Royal Court in the form set out in Schedule 1.[1]
(1) The ordinary judges of the Court of Appeal shall receive such remuneration as may be determined by the Minister for Treasury and Resources and shall be entitled to reimbursement of all travelling and other expenses incurred by them in the discharge of their functions under this Law.[2]
(1) Subject to rules of court, the Viscount shall, for all purposes of and incidental to the hearing of appeals by the Court of Appeal, and the execution and enforcement of any judgment or order made thereon, discharge duties analogous to those discharged by the Viscount in relation to proceedings in the Royal Court.

Provided that no solicitor of the Royal Court shall have any right of audience either before the Court or before any single judge of the Court upon any such appeal or proceedings.[5]
(2) For the purposes of this Article, the word “practise” shall include the doing in any office which is connected with the Court of Appeal or in which any business connected with the Court is conducted and the transacting with any officer who is attached to the Court or with any judge of the Court of any act or thing required or necessary to be done in connection with any such appeals, references or proceedings.[6]
(3) Subject as provided by rules of court, it shall be lawful for a party to an appeal under Part 2 or for an appellant under Part 3, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article, to address the Court of Appeal or any single judge thereof both on the hearing of the appeal and in any proceedings preliminary or incidental to the appeal and to do in any such office or to transact with any such officer as is mentioned in paragraph (2) any act or thing required or necessary to be done in connection with any such appeal or proceedings.

(3) At any sitting of the Court of Appeal –

(4) The Bailiff or the Deputy Bailiff may decline to preside in any case in which the Bailiff or Deputy Bailiff thinks it undesirable or inconvenient that he or she should do so, and in any such case the provisions of this Article shall have effect as if the Bailiff or Deputy Bailiff were unable to act.
The determination of any question before the Court of Appeal under this Law shall be according to the opinion of the majority of the judges constituting the Court.
Where, under this Law, the powers of the Court of Appeal may be exercised by a single judge of the Court, such powers may be exercised in any place whether within or without Jersey.
(2) Subject as otherwise provided in this Law or in any other enactment, the Court of Appeal shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine appeals from any judgment or order of the Royal Court (not being an order or decision of the Judicial Greffier) when exercising jurisdiction in any civil cause or matter.[13]
(3) For all purposes of and incidental to the hearing and determination of any appeal, and the amendment, execution and enforcement of any judgment or order made thereon, the Court of Appeal shall have all the power, authority and jurisdiction of the Royal Court, and shall have power, if it appears to the Court that a new trial or hearing ought to be had, to order that the verdict and judgment be set aside and that a new trial or hearing be had.[14]
(4) The Court of Appeal shall exercise such additional appellate jurisdiction as may be conferred upon the Court by any enactment passed by the States and confirmed by Order of Her Majesty in Council.

(a) from any decision which, by virtue of any enactment, is final;
(b) from a final order for the dissolution or nullity of marriage or civil partnership, by any party who, having had time and opportunity to appeal from the decree on which the final order was founded, has not appealed from that decree;

(1) In any appeal pending before the Court of Appeal under this Part, any matter incidental thereto not involving the decision of the appeal may be decided by a single judge of the Court, and a single judge may at any time make any interim order to prevent prejudice to the claims of any parties pending an appeal, as the judge may think fit.
(2) Every order made by a single judge of the Court of Appeal in pursuance of this Article may be discharged or varied by any judges of the Court having power to hear and determine the appeal.
(3) For the purposes of paragraph (1), an appeal is pending if –

(2) Fees and percentages taken under this Article shall be paid into the General Revenues of the States.
(1) In any proceedings in which an appeal lies to the Court of Appeal under this Part, a shorthand note of the proceedings shall be taken, and on any appeal or application to the Court of Appeal a transcript of the note, or of so much thereof as the Court of Appeal or the court whose decision is appealed from or sought to be appealed from shall direct, shall be made for the use of the Court of Appeal.
(2) The cost of the transcript of such shorthand note, in accordance with the scales of payment fixed for the time being by rules of court, shall be included in the recoverable costs of the proceedings.

(5) Rules of court for the purposes of this Article shall be made by the Superior Number of the Royal Court.
The appellate jurisdiction of the Superior Number of the Royal Court in criminal and quasi-criminal matters shall be that conferred upon it by this Part.
For the purposes of this Part, the Superior Number of the Royal Court shall be duly constituted only if it consists of the Bailiff, the Deputy Bailiff or an ordinary judge of the Court of Appeal and not less than 5 Jurats:
Provided that no person shall sit on the hearing of an appeal to the Superior Number of the Royal Court under this Part from a sentence passed by any court of which the person was a member or on the hearing of any proceedings preliminary or incidental to any such appeal.[24]
(1) A person convicted on indictment by the Royal Court, whether sitting with or without a jury, may appeal under this Part to the Court of Appeal –
(a) against the person’s conviction, on any ground of appeal which involves a question of law alone;
(b) with the leave of the Court of Appeal, or upon the certificate of the judge who presided at the person’s trial that it is a fit case for appeal, against the person’s conviction, on any ground of appeal which involves a question of fact alone, or a question of mixed law and fact, or on any other ground which appears to the Court to be a sufficient ground of appeal; and
(c) with the leave of the Court of Appeal, against any sentence passed on the person for the offence (whether passed on his or her conviction or in subsequent proceedings), unless the sentence is one fixed by law:
Provided that where the appellant was –
(i) convicted and sentenced by the Inferior Number of the Royal Court, or
(ii) sentenced by that court in pursuance of powers conferred by any enactment mentioned in Article 25,
and the person’s appeal is solely against sentence, such appeal shall lie to the Superior Number of the Royal Court and, accordingly, in relation to such an appeal references in this Part, other than Articles 29 and 43, to the Court of Appeal, shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be construed as references to the Superior Number of the Royal Court.[25]
(2) The reference in paragraph (1)(c) to a sentence fixed by law shall not be taken to include a reference to an order imposed under Article 10 of the Criminal Justice (Life Sentences) (Jersey) Law 2014[26].[27]
(3) [28]
25 Right of appeal in cases where there has not been a conviction on indictment[29]
(1) Where, in pursuance of Article 1(1) of the Criminal Justice (Probation Orders) (Jersey) Law 1986[30] or Article 7(3) of the Criminal Justice (Community Service Orders) (Jersey) Law 2001,[31] a person has been dealt with by the Royal Court, the person may appeal under this Part to the Court of Appeal notwithstanding that the person is not a person convicted on indictment by the Royal Court.
(2) Where, in pursuance of any of the provisions mentioned in paragraph (1) or Article 8(2) or (4) of the Criminal Justice (Community Service Orders) (Jersey) Law 2001, a person has been sentenced by the Royal Court, the person may appeal against the sentence under this Part to the Court of Appeal notwithstanding that the person is not a person convicted on indictment.
(1) Subject to the following provisions of this Part, on any appeal against conviction, the Court of Appeal shall allow the appeal if it thinks that the verdict should be set aside on the ground that it is unreasonable or cannot be supported having regard to the evidence, or that the judgment of the court before which the appellant was convicted should be set aside on the ground of a wrong decision of any question of law or that, on any ground, there was a miscarriage of justice, and in any other case shall dismiss the appeal:
Provided that the Court may, notwithstanding that it is of opinion that the point raised in the appeal might be decided in favour of the appellant, dismiss the appeal if it considers that no substantial miscarriage of justice has actually occurred.[32]
(2) Subject to the following provisions of this Part, the Court of Appeal shall, if it allows an appeal against conviction, quash the conviction, and direct a judgment and verdict of acquittal to be entered.[33]
(3) On any appeal against sentence, the Court of Appeal shall, if it thinks that a different sentence should have been passed on the appellant in the proceedings from which the appeal is brought, quash the sentence and pass such other sentence warranted in law by the verdict (whether more or less severe) in substitution therefor as it thinks ought to have been passed, and in any other case shall dismiss the appeal.
(4) Subject to the provisions of Article 37, the term of any sentence passed under this Part in substitution for a sentence passed on the appellant in the proceedings from which the appeal is brought shall, unless the Court of Appeal otherwise directs, begin to run from the time when it would have begun to run if passed in those proceedings, and references in the said Article 37 to any sentence to which an appellant is for the time being subject shall be construed accordingly.
(1) If it appears to the Court of Appeal that an appellant, though not properly convicted on some count or part of the indictment, has been properly convicted on some other count or part of the indictment, the Court may either affirm the sentence passed on the appellant as a result of the trial, or pass such sentence in substitution therefor as it thinks proper and as may be warranted in law by the verdict on the count or part of the indictment on which the Court considers that the appellant has been properly convicted.
(2) Where an appellant could, on the indictment, have been found guilty of an offence other than that of which the appellant was convicted and it appears to the Court of Appeal that the jury must have been satisfied of facts which proved the appellant guilty of that other offence, the Court may, instead of allowing or dismissing the appeal, substitute for the verdict appealed from a verdict of guilty of that other offence and pass such sentence in substitution for the sentence passed as the result of the trial as may be warranted in law for that other offence, not being a sentence of greater severity.
(3) If on any appeal it appears that, although the appellant was guilty of the act or omission charged against the appellant, he or she was insane at the time that the act was done or the omission made, so as not to be responsible according to law for the appellant’s actions, the Court of Appeal may quash the sentence passed as a result of the trial and order the appellant to be detained during Her Majesty’s pleasure.
28 Power to order retrial[34]
(1) Where the Court of Appeal allows an appeal against conviction and it appears to the Court that the interests of justice so require, it may order the appellant to be retried on a fresh indictment to be brought in the Royal Court within the period of 2 months of the making of the order or such further period for which it may give leave for the indictment to be brought.
(2) A person shall not under this Article be ordered to be retried for any offence other than –
(a) the offence of which the person was convicted at the original trial and in respect of which the person’s appeal is allowed as mentioned in paragraph (1);
(b) an offence of which the person could have been convicted at the original trial on an indictment for the first-mentioned offence; or
(c) an offence charged in an alternative count of the indictment in respect of which the Jurats or the jury, as the case may be, were discharged from giving a verdict in consequence of convicting the person of the first-mentioned offence.
(3) The Court of Appeal may, on ordering a retrial, make such orders as appear to it to be necessary or expedient –
(a) for the custody or release on bail of the person ordered to be retried pending the person’s retrial; or
(b) for the retention pending the retrial of any property or money forfeited, restored or paid by virtue of the original conviction or any order made on that conviction.
(4) If the person ordered to be retried was, immediately before the determination of the person’s appeal, liable to be detained in pursuance of an order or direction under the Mental Health (Jersey) Law 1969,[35] that order or direction shall continue in force pending the retrial as if the appeal had not been allowed and any order made by the Court of Appeal under this Article for the person’s custody or release on bail shall have effect subject to the said order or direction.
(5) Schedule 2 shall have effect with respect to the procedure in the case of a person ordered to be retried, the sentence which may be passed if the retrial results in the person’s conviction and the order for costs which may be made if the person is acquitted.
Unless the Court of Appeal directs to the contrary in cases where, in the opinion of the Court, the question is a question of law on which it would be convenient that separate judgments should be pronounced by the members of the Court, the judgment of the Court shall be pronounced by the President of the Court or such other member of the Court hearing the case as the President directs, and no judgment with respect to the determination of any question shall be separately pronounced by any other member of the Court.
The Court of Appeal shall, for the purposes of and subject to the provisions of this Part, have full power to determine, in accordance with this Part, any questions necessary to be determined for the purpose of doing justice in the case before it.
30A Effect of order[36]
Subject to the other provisions of this Part, an order made by the Court of Appeal or by the Superior Number of the Royal Court on any appeal under this Part shall have the like effect and be enforced in the like manner as if it had been made by the court from which the appeal lies.
(1) The operation of an order as to the disposal of any property on a conviction on indictment shall (unless the court before which the conviction takes place directs to the contrary in any case in which, in its opinion, the title to the property is not in dispute) be suspended –
(a) in any case, until the expiration of 10 days after the date of the conviction; and
(b) in cases where notice of appeal, or notice of application for leave to appeal, against conviction is given within 10 days after the date of the conviction, until the determination of the appeal, or, in any case where an application for leave to appeal is finally refused, of the application,
and, in cases where the operation of any such order is suspended until the determination of the appeal, the order shall not take effect as to the property in question if the conviction is quashed on appeal.
(2) Provision may be made by rules of court for securing the safe custody of any property during the period of suspension of the operation of any such order as is referred to in paragraph (1).
(3) The Court of Appeal may by order annul or vary any order made on a trial for the disposal of any property although the conviction is not quashed, and the order if annulled shall not take effect and if varied shall take effect as so varied.
(1) A person who wishes –
(a) to appeal under this Part; or
(b) to obtain leave to appeal under this Part,
shall give notice of appeal or (as the case may be) notice of application for leave to appeal, in such manner as may be prescribed by rules of court.[37]
(1A) Notice of appeal against conviction, or notice of application for leave to appeal against conviction, shall be given within 28 days of the date of the conviction.[38]
(1B) Notice of appeal against sentence, or notice of application for leave to appeal against sentence, shall be given within 28 days of the date on which the sentence is passed.[39]
(2) Rules of court made for the purposes of this Article shall enable any convicted person to present the person’s case and arguments in writing, instead of by oral argument, if the person so desires, and any case or argument so presented shall be considered by the Court of Appeal.
(3) The time within which notice of appeal or notice of an application for leave to appeal may be given may be extended at any time by the Court of Appeal.[40]
33 Judge’s report on appeal[42]
(1) This Article applies in the case of –
(a) an appeal by a person against conviction;
(b) an appeal by a person against sentence; or
(c) an application by a person for leave to appeal against conviction or sentence.

(4) Rules of court may prescribe –
(a) parties to whom copies of a report furnished under this Article shall be given; and
(b) the manner in which the copies shall be so given.
For the purposes of this Part, the Court of Appeal may, if it thinks it necessary or expedient in the interests of justice–
(a) order the production of any document, exhibit or other thing connected with the proceedings if the production thereof appears to be necessary for the determination of the case;
(b) if it thinks fit, order any witnesses who would have been compellable witnesses at the trial to attend and be examined before the Court, whether they were or were not called at the trial, or order the examination of any such witnesses to be conducted in the manner provided by rules of court before the Bailiff, the Deputy Bailiff or an ordinary judge of the Court of Appeal, any officer of the Court or any other person appointed by the Court for the purpose, and allow the admission of any depositions so taken as evidence before the Court;
(c) if it thinks fit, receive any evidence, if tendered, of any witness (including the appellant) who is a competent but not compellable witness and, if the appellant makes an application for the purpose, of the husband or wife or civil partner of the appellant in cases where the evidence of the husband or wife or civil partner could not have been given at the trial except on such an application;
(d) where any question arising on the appeal involves prolonged examination of documents or accounts, or any scientific or local investigation, which cannot in the opinion of the Court conveniently be conducted before the Court, order the reference of the question, in manner provided by rules of court, for inquiry and report to a special commissioner appointed by the Court, and act upon the report of any such commissioner so far as it thinks fit to adopt it; and
(e) appoint any person with special expert knowledge to act as assessor to the Court in any case in which it appears to the Court that such knowledge is required for the proper determination of the case,

Provided that in no case shall any sentence be increased by reason of or in consideration of any evidence which was not given at the trial.[43]
An appellant shall have the same right to legal aid in an appeal under this Part and in proceedings preliminary or incidental to such an appeal as the appellant would have in criminal proceedings instituted against him or her in the Royal Court.

46E Interpretation of Part 4[84]
“1999 Law” means the Proceeds of Crime (Jersey) Law 1999[85];
“respondent” means a person in whose case the making, or not making, of a confiscation order is the subject of an appeal under Article 45D.[86]
(2) Expressions which –
(a) are used in this Part; and
(b) are also used in Part 3,
shall have the same respective meanings as they have in Part 3.
(3) Notwithstanding Articles 45A and 45D, where the person to whose sentencing either of those Articles refers was –
(a) convicted and sentenced by the Inferior Number of the Royal Court; or
(b) sentenced by that court in pursuance of powers conferred by any enactment mentioned in Article 25,
the reference under Article 45A or the appeal under Article 45D (as the case may be) shall lie to the Superior Number of the Royal Court and accordingly, in relation to such a matter, references in this Part (other than Article 46D(a)) to the Court of Appeal shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be construed as references to the Superior Number of the Royal Court.
The Subordinate Legislation (Jersey) Law 1960,[87] shall apply to Rules of Court made under this Law.
Save as provided by Article 14, nothing in this Law shall affect the prerogative of Her Majesty or the jurisdiction of Her Majesty in Council.
“judgment” includes decree;
“matter” includes ex parte proceedings;
“party” includes every person served with notice of or attending any proceedings;
“rules of court” includes forms.
This Law may be cited as the Court of Appeal (Jersey) Law 1961.

SCHEDULE 2[88]
(Article 28(5))
1 On a retrial, a transcript of the record of the evidence given by any witness at the original trial may, with the leave of the Royal Court, be read as evidence –

3 Without prejudice to its power to impose any other sentence, the Royal Court may pass in respect of the offence any sentence passed in respect of that offence on the original conviction notwithstanding that, on the date of the conviction on retrial, the offender has ceased to be of an age at which such a sentence could otherwise be passed.
(1) Where the person convicted on retrial is sentenced to imprisonment or other detention, the sentence shall begin to run from the time when a like sentence passed at the original trial would have begun to run; but in computing the term of the person’s sentence or the period for which he or she may be detained thereunder, as the case may be, there shall be disregarded –
(a) any time before the person’s conviction on retrial which would have been disregarded in computing that term or period if the sentence had been passed at the original trial and the original conviction had not been quashed; and
(b) any time during which the person was released on bail under Article 28(3) .

(a) any costs which, at the original trial or prosecution, could have been ordered to be so paid under Article 2 of that Law if the person had been acquitted; and
(b) if no order was made under Article 3 of that Law in respect of the person’s expenses on appeal, any sums for the payment of which such an order could have been made.
