Appeals

If you are not happy about the Magistrate’s decision and you want to appeal, speak to your lawyer or ask the court staff about this. There is usually a court fee to pay if you wish to appeal. Remember that there is a time limit of 28 days from the date of sentencing to lodge an appeal to the District Court, so act quickly.

Legal aid for appeals from the Local Court is not available in every case. A separate application for legal aid should be made. See the duty lawyer or contact your nearest Legal Aid office about this.
