AH1860 - Special Commissioners: Appeals to The High Court: Appellant’s Notice


In England and Wales an appeal against a decision of the Special Commissioners is by direct appeal to the High Court on a point of law (TMA70/S56A(1)).

The Appellant’s Notice (of appeal) must be lodged in the High Court within 56 days. The time limit runs from the date on which notice of the decision is given. The Appellant’s Notice must also be served on the Commissioners and any parties to the proceedings.

In Northern Ireland the appeal is in any case to the Court of Appeal (TMA70/S58(2B)).

In Scotland the appeal is to the Court of Session, sitting as the Court of Exchequer (TMA70/S56A(10)).
