  "text": "(1) This rule applies where a party with the right to do so wants to renew—\n(a) to a judge of the Court of Appeal an application refused by the Registrar; or\n(b) to the Court of Appeal an application refused by a judge of that court.\n(2) That party must—\n(a) renew the application in the form issued under the Practice Direction, signed by or on behalf of the applicant; and\n(b) serve the renewed application on the Registrar not more than 10 business days after—\n(i) the refusal of the application that the applicant wants to renew; or\n(ii) the Registrar serves that refusal on the applicant, if the applicant was not present in person or by live link when the original application was refused.\n[Note. The time limit of 10 business days under this rule is reduced to 5 business days where Parts 37, 38 or 40 apply: see rules 37.7, 38.10 and 40.7.\nFor the right to renew an application to a judge or to the Court of Appeal, see sections 31(3), 31C and 44 of the Criminal Appeal Act 1968, the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (Mandatory Life Sentences: Appeals in Transitional Cases) Order 2005, the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (Appeals under section 74) Order 2006 and the Serious Crime Act 2007 (Appeals under Section 24) Order 2008.\nA party has no right under section 31C of the 1968 Act to renew to the Court of Appeal an application for procedural directions refused by a judge, but in some circumstances a case management direction might be varied: see rule 3.6.\nIf an applicant does not renew an application that a judge has refused, including an application for permission to appeal, the Registrar will treat it as if it had been refused by the Court of Appeal.\nUnder section 22 of the Criminal Appeal Act 1968, the Court of Appeal may direct that an appellant who is in custody is to attend a hearing by live link.]",
