When you are in a court case, a Judge can decide to send a question to the Court of Appeal. The Judge can do this on their own or because someone involved in the case asked them to. The question they send must be about the law and not about how to understand an employment agreement.
You can look at [1991 No 22 s 122](1991 No 22 s 122) to compare with this rule. The Judge sends the question to the Court of Appeal so they can make a decision on it. This helps make sure the law is applied correctly in your case.
