Leave to Appeal Reminder

Since s55 of the Access to Justice Act 1999 came into effect on 27 September where a county court or the High Court has decided a matter brought on appeal, there has been no possibility of a further appeal, unless the appeal raises an important point of principle or practice, or there is some other compelling reason for it to be heard. All applications for permission to bring a further appeal must be made to the Court of Appeal and are no longer made to the court whose decision is being appealed.
