reg 124 The Court Martial Appeal Court and Victim Personal Statements
It is normally necessary for a further VPS to be provided to the Court Martial Appeal Court. However, if there is information the court should know about the continuing impact the crime has had on you, a new or further VPS may be sent to the court through the Service Police or Service Prosecuting Authority. In very rare cases, you may be asked questions about your VPS in court. If the VPS is used in evidence, it will be disclosed to the defence and should not contain any comments about the sentence given or whether the appeal should succeed or not.
