46. In this Part—
|
|

(a) references to a conviction of a person for a relevant offence shall be construed as including references to a conviction of the person for such an offence after a re-trial for that offence,
|
|
| |
(b) references to a conviction of a person for a relevant offence being quashed shall be construed as references to where a court hearing an appeal against the conviction makes an order quashing the conviction and, if the court is the Court of Appeal, either—
|
|
| |
(i) it does not order the person to be re-tried for the offence concerned, or
|
|
| |
(ii) it does not substitute for the verdict a verdict of guilty of another offence that is a relevant offence,
|
|
| |
and
|
|
| |
(c) references to the proceedings in respect of a relevant offence being determined shall be construed as references to where those proceedings are finally determined (including any appeal, whether by way of case stated or otherwise, rehearing or re-trial).
