22—Appeals

        (1)         A party to proceedings in the Court may appeal against any judgment given in the proceedings (including an acquittal on a charge of a summary or indictable offence) but an appeal does not lie against a judgment in a preliminary examination.

        (2)         The appeal lies—

            (a)         in the case of an interlocutory judgment given by a Magistrate or a special justice—to the Senior Judge;

            (b)         in the case of an interlocutory judgment given by a Judge—to the Supreme Court constituted of a single Judge;

            (c)         in the case of any other judgment given by a Magistrate or a special justice—to the Supreme Court constituted of a single Judge;

            (d)         in the case of any other judgment given by a Judge—to the Full Court of the Supreme Court.

        (3)         On the appeal, the appellate court may exercise any one or more of the following powers:

            (a)         it may confirm, vary or quash the judgment subject to the appeal and, if the court thinks the interests of justice so require, it may vary or quash any other judgment given in the same or related proceedings;

            (b)         it may remit the matter for hearing or further hearing;

            (c)         it may make any other order (including an order for costs) that may be necessary or desirable in the circumstances.
