An appeal that is subordinate or ancillary to, or relevantly connected with, an underlying criminal proceeding is itself a 'criminal proceeding' for the purposes of the vexatious litigant provisions in the Supreme Court Act 1986 (Vic), and accordingly no leave is required to continue such an appeal. The Court of Appeal has power to grant leave under s.21(3) in proceedings before it.
