The prosecution gave oral notice of its intention to appeal against a grant of bail at 11:30 am on 7 June, but the case did not come on before the Crown Court until 3:30pm on 9 June, which was outside the 48 hour time limit. It was argued that the prosecution had lost its right of appeal by a failure to get the hearing listed within 48 hours. The right had not been lost. To achieve that effect the statute would have required different and express powers. The act referred in general terms to the date on which the notice of appeal was given.
