The higher court shall test the part of the misdemeanour judgement which is challenged by the appeal, but it must also test, ex officio, whether a substantial violation has been committed of the provisions of misdemeanour proceedings referred to in points 1, 5, 6, 7 and 8 of paragraph1 of Article 155, and whether the substantive provisions of the Act or regulation governing the misdemeanour have been violated to the detriment of the accused person (Article 156 of this Act).
