Criminal Appeals Act 2004

For the purposes of this Part a person is an acquitted accused if the person, in this State or elsewhere —

is tried on a charge (charge A) of a serious offence (offence A); and

at the trial (trial A), or on appeal from a conviction in trial A, is acquitted, other than on account of mental impairment, of —

charge A; and

any other offence of which, on charge A, the acquitted accused might have been convicted instead of offence A.

For the purposes of subsection (1) it does not matter if the acquittal occurred before or after the commencement of this Part.
