Rule 27 Documents for appeal hearing

Within 112 days after the filing of the notice of intention to proceed under rule 19(1)(c) or the issue of the notice of appeal under rule 20(5), the appellant must file a statement of the relevant facts and issues, the contents of which have been agreed with every respondent.

The statement of facts and issues must be served by the appellant on every intervener after being filed.

The appellant and every respondent (and any intervener and advocate to the Court) must then file their respective written cases and serve them on the other parties, in accordance with the practice direction.

Where there is more than one respondent, any respondent claiming to have a separate interest may (at that respondent’s own risk as to costs) file and serve a separate case.

An intervener may not include in its written case any submissions on an issue which is not an issue raised in the notice of appeal or cross-appeal for which permission has been granted, or in the respondent’s notice of acknowledgement.
