- HCCT4/2018
The Court held the intended appeal was not out of time because the order remitting the award was made on 24 May 2019 and the application for leave made on 30 April 2019 was properly brought; section 14AA does not apply because the remission order is a final order; leave to further appeal is governed by section 5(9) of the Schedule but the court will apply a low "reasonable prospects of success" threshold as a pragmatic filter when considering leave under section 5(8); on that basis leave to appeal was granted to the Defendant.
