Criminal Practice Rules 1999

As soon as practicable after a notice of application for leave to make a subsequent appeal is filed, the registrar must—

prepare a record book for the subsequent appeal (the subsequent appeal record book); and

make the number of copies of the subsequent appeal record book the registrar considers necessary for the subsequent appeal.

The subsequent appeal record book must contain the following documents, to the extent the registrar considers the documents necessary for the court’s decision on the subsequent appeal—

the notice of application for leave to make a subsequent appeal;

the trial transcript;

the exhibits tendered at the trial;

the final decision on the appeal or application for leave to appeal against the appellant’s conviction under the Code, section 668D;

the final decision on any earlier application for leave to make a subsequent appeal against the appellant’s conviction;

the final decision on any earlier subsequent appeal against the appellant’s conviction;

any appeal transcript;

any other document.

In deciding whether a document is necessary under subrule (2), the registrar may consult with the parties.

In this rule—

appeal transcript, in relation to a subsequent appeal, means a transcription of a record under the Recording of Evidence Act 1962 in relation to a proceeding mentioned in subrule (2)(d), (e) or (f).
