Authorised persons may file an appeal against a judgment issued in the first instance within 15 days of the date of the delivery of a copy of the judgment.

In especially complex cases, the parties and the defence counsel may immediately after the judgment is proclaimed request an extension of the time limit for filing an appeal.

The president of the panel decides immediately on the request referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article by a ruling which is not appealable. If he grants the request, the president of the panel may extend the time limit for filing an appeal by not more than 15 days.

A timely and admissible appeal against a judgment stays execution of the judgment.
