Hearing of appeal by the Court.

17.—(1) An appeal to the Court shall be heard and determined by the Court on the proceedings of the trial of the appellant, with power to the Court to hear new or additional evidence and to refer any matter for report by the president or the judge-advocate of the court-martial by which the appellant was tried.

(2) Where the Court is satisfied that the obtaining of a report from the president of the court-martial is impracticable or would involve undue delay, it may refer the matter for report by any other member of the court-martial.
