336: Powers of appeal courts

You could also call this:

"What the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court can do when hearing appeals in disputes between people."

The Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court can do things that other courts can do when hearing appeals in civil cases. You can think of civil cases as disputes between people or organisations that don't involve crimes. The Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court have these powers because they are appeal courts.

When an appeal court makes an order under certain rules, like section 335, it can issue warrants to make sure people follow the order. The appeal court can also issue warrants for orders made under sections 162 to 164. Rules about warrants, which are like official orders, apply to these warrants.
