(2)This subsection applies if the Commission consider that there is a real possibility that the verdict would not be upheld were the reference to be made and either—

(a)the Commission so consider because of an argument, or evidence, not raised in the proceedings which led to the verdict, or

(b)it appears to the Commission that there are exceptional circumstances which justify the making of the reference.

(3)Section 14 of the [1995 c. 35.] Criminal Appeal Act 1995 (supplementary provision about the reference of a verdict) shall apply in relation to a reference under subsection (1) above as it applies in relation to references under section 9 or 10 of that Act.

(2)In their application to such a reference by virtue of subsection (1) above, sections 13 and 14 of that Act shall have effect—

(a)as if references to the verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity were to the verdict referred under section 1(1) above, and

(b)as if, in section 14(1)(b), for the words from the beginning to “that he” there were substituted “the accused was under a disability and”.

3Reference treated as appeal: Northern Ireland

(2)In their application to such a reference by virtue of subsection (1) above, sections 12 and 13 of that Act shall have effect—

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
