The court hears appeals in a wide range of civil cases, including chancery, commercial, immigration, employment, family, housing and judicial review. Each separate jurisdiction is overseen by one or two Supervising Lords or Lady Justices.
The purpose of this Guide is to assist both litigants in person and legal representatives by setting out the steps which need to be taken when applying for permission to appeal in the Court of Appeal or pursuing a substantive appeal.
