There may be limitations on the appeal. Below I have bolded some possible blocks...
COURT OF APPEAL
·Has jurisdiction to hear civil appeals as of right:
·from any decision of the High Court sitting in the first instance, including decisions of Judges sitting in chambers;
·from any decision of the High Court under the provisions of the Islanders' Divorce Act;
·on a question of law only, from any decision of the High Court exercising appellate jurisdiction, provided that further appeal to the Court of Appeal is not prohibited by statute.
·Has jurisdiction to hear civil appeals from the High Court with leave:
·where an order was made by consent or is as to costs only;
·where the order or judgment is interlocutory, except in a case:
a) where the liberty of the subject or custody of infants is concerned;
b) where an injunction or appointment of a receiver is granted or refused;
c) where the decision determines the claim of any creditor or liability of a contributor of other officer under the Companies Act; or;
d) where a decree nisi in a matrimonial cause or a judgment or order in an Admiralty action is involved.
· No appeal lies from:
·a decision allowing an extension of time in which to appeal; (SSM Cant ask for more time)
· an order giving unconditional leave to defend an action;
· a decision of the High Court which is provided by statute to be final - (??? Might apply - Land rights??) for example on appeal from the Customary Land Appeal Court; and
·from an order absolute for the dissolution or nullity of marriage, where the opportunity to appeal against the decree nisi has not been taken.
·A person convicted on trial before the High Court may appeal to the Court:
·as of right, against conviction on any ground involving only a question of law;
·with leave of the Court of Appeal;
·with the leave of the Court of Appeal against sentence unless it is one that is fixed by law.
·Has jurisdiction to hear 'further' criminal appeals which may be lodged by 'any party' on any ground involving only a question of law but excluding severity of sentence.
