This section applies where a case is stated for the opinion of the High Court—
by a magistrates' court under section 111 of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980; or
by the Crown Court under section 28(1) of this Act.
The High Court may, if it thinks fit, cause the case to be sent back for amendment and, where it does so, the case shall be amended accordingly.
The High Court shall hear and determine the question arising on the case (or the case as amended) and shall—
reverse, affirm or amend the determination in respect of which the case has been stated; or
remit the matter to the magistrates' court, or the Crown Court, with the opinion of the High Court,
and may make such other order in relation to the matter (including as to costs) as it thinks fit.
Except as provided by the Administration of Justice Act 1960 (right of appeal to Supreme Court in criminal cases), a decision of the High Court under this section is final.
