I stand corrected - very very few of my cases are in the magistrates' 
courts.

  But I think you are referring to the procedure - surely there have to 
be thresh-hold tests for an appeal to be allowed (other than that the 
defendant didn't like the initial outcome).? And presumably they would 
have to be very similar to the ones I outlined - wrong in law or a 
bizarre finding of fact (though I have to say I can't see this 
immediately in the 1980 Act),
