Criminal Appeals Bulletin

The Criminal Appeals Bulletin (CAB) is a monthly document published by the Prosecutions Division of The Department of Justice. It summarises recent judgements which the editors consider of significance. Some cases are subsequently reported in legal reports.

The Classified Criminal Appeals Bulletin (CCAB) classifies the judgements under selected topics.

There are so far 13 CCABs -

CCAB 1989-92 : From the 48 monthly issues of CAB from Jan 1989 to Dec 1992, the editors put the summaries of judgements into different chapters under their respective topics. It was hoped that the classification would assist in legal research. It contains both reported cases and unreported cases.
