Article 9 Amendment to the Civil Procedure Rules 1998

After rule 40.2(2), insert—

“(3)

Paragraph (4) applies where a party applies for permission to appeal against a judgment or order at the hearing at which the judgment or order was made.

(4)

Where this paragraph applies, the judgment or order shall state—

(a)

whether or not the judgment or order is final;

(b)

whether an appeal lies from the judgment or order and, if so, to which appeal court;

(c)

whether the court gives permission to appeal; and

(d)

if not, the appropriate appeal court to which any further application for permission may be made.

(Paragraph 4.3B of the Practice Direction supplementing Part 52 deals with the court’s power to adjourn a hearing where a judgment or order is handed down and no application for permission to appeal is made at that hearing)”.
