The powers of the Court of Appeal under this Part of this Act which are specified in subsection (2) below may be exercised by the registrar.
The powers mentioned in subsection (1) above are the following—
The registrar may exercise the powers under sections 51 and 52 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 as they are exercisable in relation to appeals to the criminal division of the Court of Appeal and preliminary and incidental proceedings.
No variation of the conditions of bail granted to an appellant may be made by the registrar unless he is satisfied that the respondent does not object to the variation; but, subject to that, the powers specified in that subsection are to be exercised by the registrar in the same manner as by the Court of Appeal and subject to the same provisions.
If the registrar refuses an application on the part of an appellant to exercise in his favour any of the powers specified in subsection (2) or (2A) above, the appellant shall be entitled to have the application determined by a single judge.
In this section "respondent" includes a person who will be a respondent if leave to appeal is granted.
