Once the Court of Criminal Appeal has determined an appeal and entered orders, it is functus officio and cannot entertain further grounds of appeal. Rule 25A of the Criminal Appeal Rules applies only to pending appeals. Rule 50C does not confer jurisdiction to rehear the merits but only to correct orders to reflect the Court's intention, and is confined to applications made within 14 days of entry with no power to extend time. Where a sentence has been quashed on Crown appeal and the appellant re-sentenced, no appeal lies against the original sentence.
