You may be able to appeal your court outcome to a court of
appeal in NSW if you feel that it was unfairly or wrongly
decided.
Our criminal justice system gives us the option to appeal
against conviction or appeal against sentence provided there are
sufficient grounds of appeal. Appealing against sentence is also
known as a severity appeal, but appealing against both sentence and
conviction is also called an 'all grounds appeal'.
Because mistakes can and do occur in the criminal justice
system, an appeal may be made to the appropriate appeal court,
including the Supreme Court Sydney, Court of Criminal Appeal NSW
(New South Wales Court of Appeal) or District Court appeal.
If you have lodged an appeal to the Supreme Court of New South
Wales, you may view the listing on the NSW Supreme Court list,
which produces a Supreme Court NSW daily list. NSW Supreme Court
Judgements can be found on the Court's website.
