South Australian Current Acts

VICTIMS OF CRIME ACT 2001 - SECT 24

24—Appeals

        (1)         A party to proceedings under this Act may, subject to the rules of the Supreme Court, appeal to the Court of Appeal against any final order made by the court in those proceedings.

        (2)         However, if an order for statutory compensation is made by consent of the Crown, the offender cannot appeal against that order ¹ .

        (3)         The Court of Appeal may—

            (a)         dismiss the appeal; or

            (b)         quash the order and, if it thinks fit, substitute any other order that the court in the first instance could have made; or

            (c)         vary the order in any respect; or

            (d)         remit the subject matter of the appeal for rehearing,

and may make such other ancillary orders (including, subject to this Act, orders relating to the costs of the appeal) as it thinks fit.

Note—

1         Note that in these circumstances, the order does not necessarily bind the offender when the Crown applies for reimbursement—see section 28.
