Paragraph 180 AppealsI1

United Kingdom

Sometimes the offender asks the court to look at the case or the sentence again. This is called an appeal. If the offender does appeal, you are entitled to the following without unreasonable delay:

(1)

to be told whether the court will let the appeal go ahead;

(2)

to ask the Victim Liaison Officer to inform you if the appellant is to be released on bail pre-appeal or if the bail conditions have varied or if bail has been revoked;

(3)

to receive the information requested in paragraph 180(2) of this Code only where there is a danger or an identified risk of harm to you, in which case the information will be provided without unnecessary delay^f1.

(4)

to be given dates, times and locations of any further hearing dates and any changes to the dates if the appellant is allowed to appeal;

(5)

to be told the outcome of the appeal or if there are any changes to the sentence originally given by the court;

(6)

to receive information about victim support services that can help you, where available^f2.
