Unlike other appeals to the County Court, an appeal under clause 260 must not be conducted as a rehearing and, if the County Court considers that the respondent has failed, in whole or in part, to fulfil the undertaking, it may set aside the sentence of the Magistrates' Court and impose the sentence that it considers appropriate. Pursuant to subclause (3) in imposing a sentence under this clause, the County Court must not take into account the element of double jeopardy involved in the respondent being sentenced again, in order to impose a less severe sentence than the court would otherwise consider appropriate.
