The government is considering limiting the ability of prosecutors to appeal decisions to initiate retrials in criminal cases.

The initial proposal did not include this limitation, but the government deemed a revision necessary due to opposition from within the party.
The government is contemplating constraints on prosecutorial appeals against decisions to commence retrials, a move prompted by objections raised within the Liberal Democratic Party during preliminary reviews of the proposed revisions to the Code of Criminal Procedure. Despite the initial draft omitting such limitations, the government has deemed a modification indispensable in light of the chorus of dissenting voices advocating for a prohibition on appeals.
