s 438PGroundless appeals by Public Prosecutor

(1)

If it appears to the Registrar that a notice of appeal by the

Public Prosecutor under this Chapter does not show any substantial ground of appeal, he may refer the appeal to the Court of Appeal for summary determination.

(2)

If a case is referred to it under subsection (I), the Court of

Appeal may, if it considers that the appeal is frivolous or vexatious and can be determined without a full hearing, dismiss the appeal summarily without calling on any person to attend the hearing.
