The Case

Although judges would, of course, consider carefully all applications which were properly before them, it was no longer acceptable that a party's representative should ignore the practice directions of the Court of Appeal where it had been made clear repeatedly that if a matter was to be listed for hearing in the Court of Appeal, all necessary papers should be filed at least seven days before the hearing. In the case of a CPRPD52.4.14A statement, that should be filed at least four days before the hearing. Furthermore, a successful application for permission to appeal on a third application, by way of a hearing in court would be a very rare event.
