Section 393 — Crimes Act 1961: Certain powers exercisable by one Judge

393 Certain powers exercisable by one Judge (1) A Judge of the Court of Appeal may exercise, in the same manner as it may be exercised by that court and subject to the same provisions, the power of that court to give leave to appeal against conviction or sentence. (2) A Judge of the Supreme Court or, as the case may be, of the Court of Appeal may exercise, in the same manner as it may be exercised by that court and subject to the same provisions, any power of that court to— (a) extend the time within which notice of appeal or of an application for leave to appeal may be given; or (b) allow the appellant to be present at any proceedings in cases where he or she is not entitled to be present without leave; or (c) issue a warrant for the detention of the accused pending a new trial; or (d) grant bail to an appellant. (3) If on an application by an appellant a Judge refuses to exercise a power referred to in subsection (1) or subsection (2) in favour of the appellant, the appellant may have the application determined by the court concerned. Section 393 was substituted, as from 1 January 2004, by section 48(1) Supreme Court Act 2003 (2003 No 53). See sections 50 to 55 of that Act for the transitional and savings provisions.
