- Court of Appeal
Because the proceedings commenced before the CPA commencement date and were not finally determined, s397 CPA requires continuation under the prior law; s12R therefore imported s144 SPA which requires leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal to be sought from the High Court. The applicant failed to seek leave in the High Court and thus the Court of Appeal lacked jurisdiction to grant leave or extend time, so the applications were dismissed.
