Article 176

A first appeal may be made as of right from the decision of:

a Community Court to the Regional Court in whose territorial jurisdiction such Community Court lies;

a Regional Court to the High Court; or

the High Court to the Supreme Court.

The accused or the prosecutor may appeal and if the appellate Court confirms the judgment of the lower Court the decision shall be final as to the appellant except as provided in Article 177 (1).

Where the first appellate Court reverses the judgment of the lower Court the respondent on the first appeal may appeal further to the Court of the next level and the decision of the second appellate Court shall be final as to both parties except as provided in Article 177 (1).

In case of disagreement among the judges hearing an appeal, the decision of the majority of the judges shall be the decision of the Court. A Judge or the Judges who disagree with the majority opinion may write dissenting opinions expressing their views.
