How do I file an appeal?
You are required to complete and submit one copy of the Notice of Appeal. This document must be submitted to the Central Registry, which is located on level 2 of the State Courts Towers. When submitting your Notice of Appeal, you will need to pay a fee. This fee is due at the time of submission.
Your Notice of Appeal must include several important pieces of information:
You must provide an address where any notices or documents related to your appeal can be served.
A copy of your NRIC must be attached to the Notice of Appeal.
You need to include your contact number in the document.
If you have legal representation, you should include your lawyer's details in the Notice of Appeal. This includes their name, reference number, address, telephone number, and fax number.
If you are filing on behalf of a company, you must attach a valid letter of authorisation from your company. In this case, you will need to sign the Notice of Appeal on behalf of the company.
In an appeal against conviction, or an appeal against conviction and sentence, to start the appeal process, you must file a Notice of Appeal within 14 days after the date of the sentence.
If you wish to appeal against conviction, you should not file the appeal until the lower court imposes a sentence for the offence.
In any other case, you must file a Notice of Appeal within 14 days after the date of the judgment, sentence or order.
