The court can also consider the circumstances of an offender post-sentence based on updated information provided to it by, for example, the prison service or the police in very limited circumstances but these are not treated as fresh evidence appeals. These powers extend to hearings of applications for leave to appeal as well as the appeal itself or an appeal against the findings of a Newton hearing. This applies to appeals against conviction, appeals against sentence and references to the Court of Appeal by the Home Secretary. In order to determine if the conviction is unsafe the Court of Appeal has an over riding power to admit fresh evidence where it is necessary or expedient in the interests of justice. If the grounds of appeal submitted refer to fresh evidence which was not adduced at trial, the same test applies.
