(1) Where only the civil party appeals, the Court of Appeal shall only decide on the civil claim.
(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 455, if the judgment appealed against acquitted the accused, the court shall be bound to verify whether or not the judgment is founded. If the court finds that an offence has been committed, it shall reverse the judgment appealed against, find the accused guilty and state that no sentence may be pronounced against him in the absence of an appeal by the Legal Department, and award to the civil party damages in compensation for the injuries suffered.
