Amendment to the Civil Procedure Rules 19989

After rule 40.2(2), insert—

3

Paragraph (4) applies where a party applies for permission to appeal against a judgment or order at the hearing at which the judgment or order was made.

4

Where this paragraph applies, the judgment or order shall state—

a

whether or not the judgment or order is final;

b

whether an appeal lies from the judgment or order and, if so, to which appeal court;

c

whether the court gives permission to appeal; and

d

if not, the appropriate appeal court to which any further application for permission may be made.

(Paragraph 4.3B of the Practice Direction supplementing Part 52 deals with the court’s power to adjourn a hearing where a judgment or order is handed down and no application for permission to appeal is made at that hearing)
