Any person, including the prosecutor, aggrieved by any judgment given or made by the Grand Court in the exercise of its appellate or revisional jurisdiction, whether such judgment has been given or made upon appeal or revision from a court of summary jurisdiction or any other court, board committee or authority exercising judicial powers, and whether or not the proceedings are civil or criminal in nature, may appeal, subject to this Act, to the Court on any ground of appeal which involves a point of law alone, or against sentence but not upon any question of fact.
In any case in which any matter, whether civil or criminal in nature, is pending before the Grand Court in the exercise of its appellate or revisional jurisdiction, and a Judge of the Grand Court is unable to hear the case by reason of absence or any incapacity, or considers that for any sufficient reason that Judge ought not to hear the case, the Judge, or the Clerk of the Grand Court in the absence of the Judge, shall report the facts to the Governor who, acting in the Governor's discretion, if the Governor considers that it is not convenient or, for any reason, desirable to appoint another person to act as the Judge of the Grand Court, the Governor may so certify and shall direct that such case shall be transferred to the Court and thereupon the Court shall have jurisdiction in the case in all respects as if it had been an appeal under this Act from a decision of the Grand Court in its appellate jurisdiction.
Upon the giving of a direction, under subsection (2), for the transfer of a case to the Court, the Clerk of the Grand Court, subject to and in accordance with any rules of court, shall arrange for all relevant documents in the case, together with copies of the record of the proceedings in the lower court or other authority or tribunal, to be forwarded to the Registrar.
