2007 EXAM - Your Thoughts
igs07:
For appeals I just said County, I thought why on earth would a minor offence such as theft of a TV be heard all the way to the Supreme, but I find out it does hear appeals. However most of our school just said County, some said Supreme.
costargh:
You had to learn your appeals process for that. On a Point of law it goes to supreme because its a case of major importance (ie they are questioning the law) and therefore it may be setting a precedent because its a superior court of record. (i hope thats the right explanation... its 10am and i woke up 10 minutes ago and skulled a V. Year 11 exams today =(
igs07:
Oh well I really dont care it was one mark, ill get half
costargh:
They don't give half marks (ie. you cant get 0.5 out of 1, although you can get 1 out of 2)
But yeh only one mark so it really is a very small error that won't make a substantial difference =)
costargh:

If someone commits an offence at the age of 18 they are obviously tried as an adult and not a child.
