Closed petition Remove time limit on appeals when new mental health information is available
Closed on
It can take years for some people to get their mental health diagnosed properly and it could be too late to appeal by then.
The Government should remove the time limits to start an appeal for cases where new information relating to the mental health of a defendant is available and may impact the case.
