120: Appeal to Court of Appeal on question of law

You could also call this:

"Appealing to a Higher Court if You Think the Law Was Applied Wrongly"

Illustration for Real Estate Agents Act 2008

You can appeal to the Court of Appeal if you think the High Court made a mistake with the law. You can only appeal on a question of law. The Court of Appeal will hear and decide your appeal according to their rules. You need to follow the rules of court for your appeal to be heard. The Court of Appeal's decision is final, so you cannot appeal it further. This is similar to s 85, which is another law about appeals.
