Article 16 Appeal to the House of Lords
An application to the Courts-Martial Appeal Court for leave to appeal to the House of Lords under the 2006 Order may be made—
orally after the decision of the Courts-Martial Appeal Court from which an appeal lies to the House of Lords; or
in writing and served on the registrar within seven business days of the reasons for the decision.
If leave to appeal to the House of Lords is granted by the Courts-Martial Appeal Court, or a party has made an application to the House of Lords for leave, in a case where the judge advocate has decided that the appeal should be expedited under article 5(1) of the 2006 Order and that decision has not subsequently been reversed under article 5(4) of that Order, the registrar must inform the judge advocate that the court must be discharged from giving a verdict in respect of that accused.
