Court forms
In order to file a notice of an appeal at The Supreme Court, the correct court forms must be filled in and submitted.
In general, if permission to appeal is not required:
- Appellants should fill out Form 1
- Respondents should fill out Form 3
- You should fill out and submit these forms electronically, as well as in hard copy with your payment fee
- Before you submit the forms, you should also serve the requisite number of copies upon other parties to the appeal, in line with The Practice Directions of the Supreme Court 2009
Full details are available in The Rules of The Supreme Court 2009 and The Practice Directions of the Supreme Court 2009 and you are strongly encouraged to consult these before submitting your forms.
