Illustration for Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993

You can appeal to the Court of Appeal if you are unhappy with a High Court decision. You must think the decision is wrong because of a law mistake. The Court of Appeal will look at the law question and give its opinion. You will follow court rules when you appeal. The Court of Appeal will hear and decide your appeal according to these rules. This is how the appeal process works.
