provides that a person convicted of a criminal offence in the Magistrates' Court may appeal to the County Court either against the conviction and sentence imposed by the Court or against sentence alone. See clause 3 for the definition of conviction. Currently, section 83(1) of the Magistrates' Court Act 1989 does not distinguish between appeals against conviction and appeals against sentence. Instead, it provides that a person may appeal to the County Court "against any sentencing order made against that person by the Magistrates' Court." This means that a person who has been found guilty by the Magistrates' Court and who wishes to appeal against the finding of guilt does so by appealing against the sentencing order, even if he or she does not consider that the sentencing order itself was excessive. Conversely, it also means that a person who originally pleaded guilty and who does not contest the finding of guilt but who simply considers that the sentence imposed was excessive must nevertheless in effect appeal against the finding of guilt and the sentence. In practice, however, it is possible to indicate on the prescribed notice of appeal (Form 2-2A in the County Court Miscellaneous Rules 1999) whether the appellant is appealing on the grounds that the appellant is not guilty, that the sentence is excessive, or both. Fox (Victorian Criminal Procedure, 2005, at paragraph 10.4.5) notes that where the merit of the conviction is not in dispute, but only the sentence, the County Court may rely upon an outline of facts accepted by the appellant.
