410: Appeal, with Supreme Court’s leave, against High Court’s or Court of Appeal’s determination

You could also call this:

“Asking the Supreme Court if you can challenge a decision from another court”

You can ask the Supreme Court for permission to appeal against a decision made by the High Court or Court of Appeal. This applies to two types of decisions:

  1. When the High Court has made a decision on an appeal under section 405.
  2. When the Court of Appeal has made a decision on an appeal under section 409.

If you were part of the case in either of these situations, you can apply to the Supreme Court for permission to appeal. You need to follow the rules set out in the Senior Courts Act 2016 when you apply.

This section is just explaining how the process works. It doesn’t change any rules or give you new rights.
