Special rules apply to appeals in contempt proceedings. This Practice Note should be read in conjunction with Practice Note: Civil contempt proceedings—appeals, purges and discharge.

Determining an application for permission to appeal (PTA)

Whether the appeal is a first or second appeal, permission to appeal will initially be considered on the papers (see cpr 52.4(1) and CPR 52.5(1)). A hearing of the application for permission to appeal will only take place in the following circumstances:

  1. •

    in the County Court and High Court—when the person seeking permission requests the decision refusing permission to appeal on the papers to be reconsidered at an oral hearing unless the judge who has refused permission to appeal without an oral hearing has made an order that the person seeking permission may not request the decision to be reconsidered at an oral hearing (CPR 52.4(2) and (3))

  2. •

    in the Court of Appeal—when the judge considering the application on paper has directed that the application be determined at an oral hearing (CPR 52.5(2))
