sets out how an appeal under clause 260 is commenced, namely by filing a notice of appeal, in the prescribed form, signed by the DPP personally, in the Magistrates' Court. The notice of the appeal to be served personally on the respondent within 14 days after the notice is filed. Further, the DPP is required to provide a copy of the notice of appeal to the legal practitioner who last represented the respondent, if they can reasonably be identified. The commencement of an appeal under clause 261 is similar to clause 258 except that there is no time limit for filing a notice of appeal. This is because the failure to fulfil an undertaking may not be apparent for some time. In addition, an extra seven days (14 days in total) is allowed for a copy of the notice of appeal to be served on the respondent. This is because the underlying proceedings may not be recent.
