"Appealing to the Supreme Court: When You Disagree with the Court of Appeal's Decision"

Illustration for Criminal Procedure Act 2011

You can appeal to the Supreme Court if the Court of Appeal makes a decision you do not agree with. The Solicitor-General can ask the Supreme Court if they can appeal a decision made by the Court of Appeal that refused to give leave under section 313. The Solicitor-General can also ask the Supreme Court if they can appeal the Court of Appeal's decision on a question of law under section 314, but they need the Supreme Court's permission to do this.
