Finding or sentence when reversible by reason of error, omission or irregularity.

What this section does

No finding, sentence or order of a competent court shall be reversed or altered by an appellate, confirmatory or revisional court merely on account of any error, omission or irregularity in proceedings, unless the court is of the opinion that a failure of justice has in fact been occasioned. In determining whether a failure of justice occurred, the court shall consider whether the objection could and should have been raised at an earlier stage.
