answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2023 answer text <p>The Criminal Cases Review Commission, funded by the Ministry of Justice, functions as an independent body, making decisions autonomously and without ministerial influence.</p><p>Under Section 13 of the Criminal Appeal Act 1995, the Court of Appeal may only quash a conviction where they consider it ‘unsafe’. The Criminal Cases Review Commission can only refer a case to the Court of Appeal, where it is satisfied there is a ‘real possibility’ that the conviction would be quashed as ‘unsafe’, or the sentence would be changed.</p><p>Existing legislation allows for cases to be referred by the CCRC in exceptional circumstances where there is no fresh evidence, fresh legal argument or where the person has not exhausted appeal routes. However, the CCRC still has to consider whether there is a real possibility that the Court of Appeal will consider it unsafe.</p> answering member printed Lord Bellamy question first answered 21/12/2023 15:33:09 answering member 4941 label Biography information for Lord Bellamy
