R v FORRESTER [2000] NSWCCA 66
The appeal was dismissed because the notice of appeal was formulated as an appeal against Judge Nader's order pursuant to s5DA, while the Crown's case was directed to Judge Job's later sentence and would have required an appeal under s5D; given the extraordinary nature of Crown appeals against inadequacy of sentence, amendment was inappropriate.
