—(1) Subject to sections 374, 375 and 376, a person who is not satisfied with any judgment, sentence or order of a trial court in a criminal case or matter to which he is a party may appeal to the appellate court against that judgment, sentence or order in respect of any error in law or in fact, or in an appeal against sentence, on the ground that the sentence imposed is manifestly excessive or manifestly inadequate.
(2) A notice of appeal against any judgment, sentence or order of the trial court must be lodged by the appellant within 14 days with the Registrar of the Supreme Court (if the trial court is the High Court) or the Registrar of the Subordinate Courts (if the trial court is a District Court or a Magistrate’s Court), from the date of that judgment, sentence or order.
(3) Every notice of appeal must —
(a)
state shortly the substance of the judgment, sentence or order appealed against;
(b)
contain an address at which any notice or document connected with the appeal may be served upon the appellant or upon his advocate; and
(c)
unless it is given orally under section 381, be signed by the appellant or his advocate.
(4) In the case of an appeal by the Public Prosecutor under this Part against the judgment, sentence or order of the High Court hearing a criminal case, the notice of appeal shall be signed by him only.
(5) After the notice of appeal has been lodged in accordance with subsection (2) by an appellant who is an accused or a complainant, the Registrar of the Supreme Court (if the trial court is the High Court) or the Registrar of the Subordinate Courts (if the trial court is a Magistrate’s Court or District Court) must, as soon as possible, serve on the appellant or his advocate at the address mentioned in the notice of appeal, a notice that a copy each of the record of proceedings and the grounds of decision are available and can be had on applying for the same.
(6) Where an appellant makes an application pursuant to subsection (5), he shall be served with a copy each of the record of proceedings and the grounds of decision upon the payment of the prescribed fee, unless the Registrar of the Subordinate Courts or the Registrar of the Supreme Court, as the case may be, for some special reason thinks it fit to furnish them free of charge.
(7) After the notice of appeal has been lodged in accordance with subsection (2) by an appellant who is the Public Prosecutor, the Registrar of the Supreme Court (if the trial court is the High Court) or the Registrar of the Subordinate Courts (if the trial court is a Magistrate’s Court or District Court) must, as soon as possible, serve on the Public Prosecutor a copy each of the record of proceedings and the grounds of decision free of charge.
