No In-Person Hearings at Court of Appeal Until Further Notice

In a previous blog post, we advised of a notice from the Court of Appeal that it would hear some appeals in person. However, this has changed. In a further notice, the Court of Appeal has stated that it will not conduct in-person appeals until further notice.

The Court of Appeal has also indicated that “due to the exceptional and evolving circumstances concerning the COVID-19 pandemic it may be necessary to schedule some appeal hearings outside the four-to-six-month timeline set out in the Court of Appeal’s 2017 Practice Directions”.
