Powers of Court of Appeal on successful appeal
294 Powers of Court of Appeal on successful appeal
If the Court of Appeal allows an appeal under section 291, it may—
set aside the sentence imposed by the originating court; and
impose the sentence that it considers appropriate, having regard to the failure of the respondent to fulfil the undertaking.
In imposing a sentence under subsection (1), the Court of Appeal must not take into account the element of double jeopardy involved in the respondent being sentenced again, in order to impose a less severe sentence than the court would otherwise consider appropriate.
S. 294(3) repealed by No. 68/2009 s. 29(1).
