or “The court can give you more time to do things for your appeal if you ask nicely.”
You could also call this:

“When all the necessary steps are done, the court will set a date to hear your appeal as soon as possible.”

When you appeal a decision from the Environment Court, you need to tell the High Court that your appeal is ready to be heard. You do this by letting the Registrar of the High Court know two things. First, you must confirm that you’ve given the appeal notice to everyone involved in the case. Second, you need to tell the Registrar either that no one has asked for more security for costs under section 303, or that if someone did ask for it, you’ve sorted it out. Once you’ve done this, the Registrar will set a date for your appeal hearing as soon as they can.
