417. Where appeal allowed

This section applies where on an appeal against conviction after trial in the High Court on two or more charges, the Court of Appeal allows the appeal in respect of one or some of the charges only.

The Court of Appeal may, in respect of any charge on which the appellant remains convicted, pass such sentence in substitution for any sentence passed thereon at the trial as it thinks proper and is authorised by law for the offence of which he remains convicted on that charge (whether the sentence so substituted is more or less severe).
