Provided that no person shall sit on the hearing of an appeal to the Superior Number of the Royal Court under this Part from a sentence passed by any court of which the person was a member or on the hearing of any proceedings preliminary or incidental to any such appeal.[24]
24 Right of appeal
(1) A person convicted on indictment by the Royal Court, whether sitting with or without a jury, may appeal under this Part to the Court of Appeal –
(a) against the person’s conviction, on any ground of appeal which involves a question of law alone;
(b) with the leave of the Court of Appeal, or upon the certificate of the judge who presided at the person’s trial that it is a fit case for appeal, against the person’s conviction, on any ground of appeal which involves a question of fact alone, or a question of mixed law and fact, or on any other ground which appears to the Court to be a sufficient ground of appeal; and
(c) with the leave of the Court of Appeal, against any sentence passed on the person for the offence (whether passed on his or her conviction or in subsequent proceedings), unless the sentence is one fixed by law:
Provided that where the appellant was –
(i) convicted and sentenced by the Inferior Number of the Royal Court, or
(ii) sentenced by that court in pursuance of powers conferred by any enactment mentioned in Article 25,
and the person’s appeal is solely against sentence, such appeal shall lie to the Superior Number of the Royal Court and, accordingly, in relation to such an appeal references in this Part, other than Articles 29 and 43, to the Court of Appeal, shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be construed as references to the Superior Number of the Royal Court.[25]
(2) The reference in paragraph (1)(c) to a sentence fixed by law shall not be taken to include a reference to an order imposed under Article 10 of the Criminal Justice (Life Sentences) (Jersey) Law 2014[26].[27]
(3) [28]
25 Right of appeal in cases where there has not been a conviction on indictment[29]

(2) Where, in pursuance of any of the provisions mentioned in paragraph (1) or Article 8(2) or (4) of the Criminal Justice (Community Service Orders) (Jersey) Law 2001, a person has been sentenced by the Royal Court, the person may appeal against the sentence under this Part to the Court of Appeal notwithstanding that the person is not a person convicted on indictment.
26 Determination of appeals in ordinary cases
(1) Subject to the following provisions of this Part, on any appeal against conviction, the Court of Appeal shall allow the appeal if it thinks that the verdict should be set aside on the ground that it is unreasonable or cannot be supported having regard to the evidence, or that the judgment of the court before which the appellant was convicted should be set aside on the ground of a wrong decision of any question of law or that, on any ground, there was a miscarriage of justice, and in any other case shall dismiss the appeal:
Provided that the Court may, notwithstanding that it is of opinion that the point raised in the appeal might be decided in favour of the appellant, dismiss the appeal if it considers that no substantial miscarriage of justice has actually occurred.[32]
(2) Subject to the following provisions of this Part, the Court of Appeal shall, if it allows an appeal against conviction, quash the conviction, and direct a judgment and verdict of acquittal to be entered.[33]
(3) On any appeal against sentence, the Court of Appeal shall, if it thinks that a different sentence should have been passed on the appellant in the proceedings from which the appeal is brought, quash the sentence and pass such other sentence warranted in law by the verdict (whether more or less severe) in substitution therefor as it thinks ought to have been passed, and in any other case shall dismiss the appeal.
(4) Subject to the provisions of Article 37, the term of any sentence passed under this Part in substitution for a sentence passed on the appellant in the proceedings from which the appeal is brought shall, unless the Court of Appeal otherwise directs, begin to run from the time when it would have begun to run if passed in those proceedings, and references in the said Article 37 to any sentence to which an appellant is for the time being subject shall be construed accordingly.
27 Powers of court in special cases
(1) If it appears to the Court of Appeal that an appellant, though not properly convicted on some count or part of the indictment, has been properly convicted on some other count or part of the indictment, the Court may either affirm the sentence passed on the appellant as a result of the trial, or pass such sentence in substitution therefor as it thinks proper and as may be warranted in law by the verdict on the count or part of the indictment on which the Court considers that the appellant has been properly convicted.
(2) Where an appellant could, on the indictment, have been found guilty of an offence other than that of which the appellant was convicted and it appears to the Court of Appeal that the jury must have been satisfied of facts which proved the appellant guilty of that other offence, the Court may, instead of allowing or dismissing the appeal, substitute for the verdict appealed from a verdict of guilty of that other offence and pass such sentence in substitution for the sentence passed as the result of the trial as may be warranted in law for that other offence, not being a sentence of greater severity.
(3) If on any appeal it appears that, although the appellant was guilty of the act or omission charged against the appellant, he or she was insane at the time that the act was done or the omission made, so as not to be responsible according to law for the appellant’s actions, the Court of Appeal may quash the sentence passed as a result of the trial and order the appellant to be detained during Her Majesty’s pleasure.
28 Power to order retrial[34]
(1) Where the Court of Appeal allows an appeal against conviction and it appears to the Court that the interests of justice so require, it may order the appellant to be retried on a fresh indictment to be brought in the Royal Court within the period of 2 months of the making of the order or such further period for which it may give leave for the indictment to be brought.
(2) A person shall not under this Article be ordered to be retried for any offence other than –
(a) the offence of which the person was convicted at the original trial and in respect of which the person’s appeal is allowed as mentioned in paragraph (1);
(b) an offence of which the person could have been convicted at the original trial on an indictment for the first-mentioned offence; or
(c) an offence charged in an alternative count of the indictment in respect of which the Jurats or the jury, as the case may be, were discharged from giving a verdict in consequence of convicting the person of the first-mentioned offence.
(3) The Court of Appeal may, on ordering a retrial, make such orders as appear to it to be necessary or expedient –
(a) for the custody or release on bail of the person ordered to be retried pending the person’s retrial; or
(b) for the retention pending the retrial of any property or money forfeited, restored or paid by virtue of the original conviction or any order made on that conviction.
(4) If the person ordered to be retried was, immediately before the determination of the person’s appeal, liable to be detained in pursuance of an order or direction under the Mental Health (Jersey) Law 1969,[35] that order or direction shall continue in force pending the retrial as if the appeal had not been allowed and any order made by the Court of Appeal under this Article for the person’s custody or release on bail shall have effect subject to the said order or direction.
(5) Schedule 2 shall have effect with respect to the procedure in the case of a person ordered to be retried, the sentence which may be passed if the retrial results in the person’s conviction and the order for costs which may be made if the person is acquitted.
29 Judgments of Court of Appeal
Unless the Court of Appeal directs to the contrary in cases where, in the opinion of the Court, the question is a question of law on which it would be convenient that separate judgments should be pronounced by the members of the Court, the judgment of the Court shall be pronounced by the President of the Court or such other member of the Court hearing the case as the President directs, and no judgment with respect to the determination of any question shall be separately pronounced by any other member of the Court.
30 General powers of court
The Court of Appeal shall, for the purposes of and subject to the provisions of this Part, have full power to determine, in accordance with this Part, any questions necessary to be determined for the purpose of doing justice in the case before it.
30A Effect of order[36]
Subject to the other provisions of this Part, an order made by the Court of Appeal or by the Superior Number of the Royal Court on any appeal under this Part shall have the like effect and be enforced in the like manner as if it had been made by the court from which the appeal lies.
31 Re-vesting and restitution of property on conviction
(1) The operation of an order as to the disposal of any property on a conviction on indictment shall (unless the court before which the conviction takes place directs to the contrary in any case in which, in its opinion, the title to the property is not in dispute) be suspended –
(a) in any case, until the expiration of 10 days after the date of the conviction; and
(b) in cases where notice of appeal, or notice of application for leave to appeal, against conviction is given within 10 days after the date of the conviction, until the determination of the appeal, or, in any case where an application for leave to appeal is finally refused, of the application,
and, in cases where the operation of any such order is suspended until the determination of the appeal, the order shall not take effect as to the property in question if the conviction is quashed on appeal.
(2) Provision may be made by rules of court for securing the safe custody of any property during the period of suspension of the operation of any such order as is referred to in paragraph (1).
(3) The Court of Appeal may by order annul or vary any order made on a trial for the disposal of any property although the conviction is not quashed, and the order if annulled shall not take effect and if varied shall take effect as so varied.

(c) if it thinks fit, receive any evidence, if tendered, of any witness (including the appellant) who is a competent but not compellable witness and, if the appellant makes an application for the purpose, of the husband or wife or civil partner of the appellant in cases where the evidence of the husband or wife or civil partner could not have been given at the trial except on such an application;
(d) where any question arising on the appeal involves prolonged examination of documents or accounts, or any scientific or local investigation, which cannot in the opinion of the Court conveniently be conducted before the Court, order the reference of the question, in manner provided by rules of court, for inquiry and report to a special commissioner appointed by the Court, and act upon the report of any such commissioner so far as it thinks fit to adopt it; and
