Section 13 Power to re-sentence when some but not all convictions successfully appealed.F1C1C2
United Kingdom
This section applies where—
on a single occasion a person is sentenced by the Court Martial in respect of two or more offences; and
the Appeal Court allow an appeal against conviction in respect of some but not all of the offences.
The Court may in respect of any offence of which the appellant remains convicted pass, in substitution for the sentence passed by the Court Martial, any sentence that—
they think appropriate; and
is a sentence that the Court Martial had power to pass.
But the Court may not exercise their powers under subsection (2) in such a way that the appellant's sentences (taken together) for all the offences of which he remains convicted are more severe than the sentences (taken together) passed on him by the Court Martial on the occasion mentioned in subsection (1)(a).
The reference in subsection (3) to the sentences passed by the Court Martial includes those passed by that court in respect of offences as respects which appeals against conviction have been allowed.
