(2) If leave is granted, both the prosecutor and the acquitted person may make submissions to the Full Court in relation to the Court’s determination of the question of law.
(3) A determination made by the Court on the question of law does not affect the person’s acquittal.
(4) The Court may make orders to ensure each party to proceedings under this section is adequately represented in those proceedings. This subsection has effect despite section 30DA.
