(1) The procedure before the Court of Appeal shall be the same as that before the Courts of
First Instance and High Courts.
However, the court may, with the written consent of the convicts detained outside the seat of
the court, hear the appeal in their absence. In this case, the court shall rely solely on the
records of proceedings and the judgement delivered shall be deemed to have been delivered
after full hearing, even if the convict was not represented by counsel. The judgment may only
be enforced after the convict has been served with it.
(2) If the court deems it necessary, it may order the personal appearance of the parties.
(3) The appellant and the other parties may make oral submissions based on their grounds of
appeal before the court.
