A Section 10 is one of the sentencing options available to the court.
An order under section 10 of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 (NSW) allows the court to dismiss the matter without recording a conviction, despite the offence being proven.
Two appeal types exist: conviction appeals and severity appeals.
A conviction appeal challenges the finding of guilt following a disputed hearing, a severity appeal challenges the sentence imposed by the court after a guilty plea or finding of guilt. If you appeal both your conviction and your sentence this is called an ‘all grounds appeal.’ An appeal must then be lodged within 28 days of sentencing.

“I recently used the services of Ben at Wilcox Criminal and Civil Lawyers for my case, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome. Ben managed to secure a result with no conviction recorded, which was exactly what I was hoping for. The team was professional, thorough, and communicated clearly throughout the process. They understood the nuances of the legal system and knew how to navigate it to achieve the best possible outcome for my situation. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of skilled criminal defence representation.”
