84 Quashing of conviction following pardon
> > (1) The Court may quash a conviction in respect of which a free pardon has been granted.
>
> > (2) However, the mere fact that a free pardon has been granted does not entitle the person to whom the pardon has been granted to a quashing of the conviction.
>
> > (3) An application for the quashing of the conviction may be made to the Court by the person to whom the pardon has been granted or by another person on behalf of that person.
>
> > (4) However, such an application may not be made in respect of a free pardon arising from an inquiry under Division 4 if the matter has previously been dealt with under this Division as a consequence of a reference to the Court, under section 82 (2) (or so dealt with under the corresponding previous review provisions), by the judicial officer conducting the inquiry.
>
> > (5) The registrar of the Court must cause a copy of any application made under this section to be given to the Minister.
