Clause 46

When a notice of appeal has been filed the Judge by whom the appellant was convicted shall, if he has not already written his judgment, record in writing the grounds of his decision, and such written judgment or grounds of decision shall form part of the record of the proceedings:Provided that in all cases tried by a jury a verbatim note of any charge or summing-up of the Judge of the trial Court shall be included in and form part of the record of the proceedings in lieu of such written judgment or grounds of decision:And provided further that if, in any particular case referred to in the first proviso to this subsection, the trial Judge considers that a written judgment or the grounds of his decision would be of assistance to the Court of Criminal Appeal, or if the Court of Criminal Appeal so directs, such written judgment or grounds of decision shall be furnished and shall form part of the record of the proceedings in addition to the charge or summing-up.

As soon as possible after notice of appeal has been filed the Registrar shall cause to be served on the appellant or his advocate and solicitor at his address for service specified under subsection (2) of section 45 of this Act a notice that a copy of the record is available and can be had on applying for the same and, in respect of a shorthand transcript, on payment of the prescribed fee.
