Defence Force Discipline Appeals Act 1955

Subject to this Act, a convicted person or a prescribed acquitted person may appeal to the Tribunal against his or her conviction or his or her prescribed acquittal but an appeal on a ground that is not a question of law may not be brought except by leave of the Tribunal.

An appeal does not lie to the Tribunal against a prescribed acquittal if, in the proceedings before the court martial or the Defence Force magistrate that resulted in the prescribed acquittal, evidence that the prescribed acquitted person was suffering a mental impairment was adduced by the defence.
