The Crown may appeal against a verdict of acquittal on a question of law alone. The accused may appeal on a question of law, fact or mixed law and fact. Either party may appeal a sentence unless the sentence is one fixed by law.
 
Either party is entitled to a further appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada against a conviction or acquittal if a judge of the court of appeal dissented on a question of law or if the court of appeal allowed a Crown appeal against an acquittal and substituted a conviction. Otherwise either party may appeal a verdict or sentence with leave of the Supreme Court of Canada.<ref name="criminal court system">{{cite web |url=http://www.acclawyers.org/resources/canada/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130224232534/http://www.acclawyers.org/resources/canada/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=2013-02-24 |title=Canadian criminal court system |publisher=Association of Commonwealth Criminal Lawyers |access-date= |accessdate=2010-12-24 }}</ref>
