When is the deadline for notice of appeal to the court of appeal in a criminal matter?
The catalogue records a 30 days period from Date of the trial decision or the date of sentencing, whichever is later. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.

The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 30 days
- Trigger
- Date of the trial decision or the date of sentencing, whichever is later
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- The rule itself allows 'such extended time as the Court of Appeal or a Judge allows'. Never compute an extension.
- Corrected on verification: the researched catalogue cited Rule 63.05(2) for this period. Rule 63.05(2) provides that where the appellant is an unrepresented prisoner the Notice of Appeal is issued when the original and 4 copies are served on the senior officer of the institution. The 30-day period is in Rule 63.04(2). The trigger is the LATER of the trial decision and the sentencing date, which matters where sentencing is adjourned.
