Section 29: Procedure with respect to frivolous or vexatious appeals on questions of law

If it appears to the Registrar that any notice of appeal against a conviction purporting to be on a ground of appeal which involves a question of law alone does not show any substantial ground of appeal, the Registrar may refer the appeal to any Justice of the Court of Appeal and such Justice may, if he is of the same opinion, direct the Registrar to refer the appeal to the Court of Appeal for summary determination, and, when the case is so referred, the Court of Appeal may if it considers that the appeal is frivolous or vexatious, and can be determined without adjourning the same for a full hearing, dismiss the appeal summarily without calling on any persons to attend the hearing or to appear for the State thereon.
