- Court of Appeal
Decisions by a High Court judge under the Criminal Proceedings (Search of Court Records) Rules 1974 to grant or refuse leave to search and copy criminal court records are either administrative or orders in or relating to criminal proceedings and are not appealable to the Court of Appeal under s 66 of the Judicature Act 1908; no alternative statutory right of appeal exists, therefore the Court of Appeal lacks jurisdiction and the appeal must be dismissed.
