Appeals from the subordinate Court to the High Court and from the High Court to the Court of Appeal will require strict adherence to adjectival law. This session will seek to distil the best practices to be employed when handling such appeals. Discussion will be about procedure, timelines and de rigeur practices that make the process of appealing (somewhat) more forgiving.
A short discussion will also take place on the best practices for submissions and advocacy at the appeal stage.
