Section 423Procedural

Petition of appeal

Full Text

Every appeal shall be made in the form of a petition in writing presented by the appellant or his advocate, and every such petition shall (unless the Court to which it is presented otherwise directs) be accompanied by a copy of the judgment or order appealed against.

Plain English Summary

Requires every criminal appeal to be a written petition submitted with a copy of the challenged judgment.

Key Legal Elements

  • Appeal must be a written petition
  • Can be presented by appellant or advocate
  • Mandatory attachment of judgment/order copy
  • Court has power to waive attachment requirement

Practical Note

This is a mandatory formal requirement. An appeal must be in writing and the impugned judgment must be attached so the appellate court can immediately review the trial court's reasoning.
