Paragraph 18 Oral hearing of application for permission to appeal

Where the Judicial Committee has directed an oral hearing, the Registrar will fix a date for the hearing of the application for permission to appeal and will notify the date to the appellant and every respondent who has given notice under rule 15.

A party may be heard by one counsel or in person and, where there are several respondents, they should appear by the same counsel unless their different interests justify separate representation.

An order shall be prepared and sealed to record any decision made under this rule. The order must be notified in accordance with rule 17(6).
