Where a convicted person desires to appeal to the Court or to obtain the leave of the Court to appeal under this Act that person shall, within fourteen days of the date of conviction, give to the Registrar and the Clerk of the Grand Court notice in writing of that person's appeal or of that person's application for leave to appeal in such manner as the rules of court direct.
Such rules shall enable any convicted person, if that person so desires, to present that person's case in writing instead of by oral argument and any case so presented shall be considered by the Court.
The time within which notice of appeal or notice of an application for leave to appeal may be given may, at any time, be extended by a Judge of the Grand Court or by the Court.
For the purpose of this section the date of conviction shall be deemed to be the date on which the court has sentenced or otherwise dealt with the appellant.
