Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order makes transitional provision in relation to the County Court Appeals (Amendment) Order 1993 (the “Amendment Order”). The Amendment Order extended the circumstances in which leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal from county court judgments would be needed, with effect from 1st October 1993. A question has arisen as to whether the Amendment Order applies where the county court judgment was entered before 1st October 1993. This Order provides that the new provisions apply to any proceedings in which an appeal is set down or an application is lodged with the Court of Appeal on or after 8th December 1993, irrespective of when the judgment or order appealed against was entered.
