Quashing convictions
9 Quashing convictions
If the AMC purported to quash a conviction by a summary authority of a person of a service offence, the rights and liabilities of all persons are, by force of this item, declared to be, and always to have been, the same as if:
the amended Defence Force Discipline Act had been in force on and after the time when the purported quashing occurred; and
the following were the case, under Part VIIIA of that Act as so in force, immediately after that time:
a competent reviewing authority had reviewed the conviction;
the reviewing authority had quashed the conviction.
For what happens if the AMC purported to order a new trial, see item 27.
