An appeal to the Court of Appeal from the District Court sitting in its appellate jurisdiction (on appeal from the Magistrates Court under s 222 of the Justices Act 1886 (Qld)) is a strict appeal on error of law, not an appeal by way of rehearing. Leave under s 118(3) of the District Court of Queensland Act 1967 (Qld) will usually only be granted where an appeal is necessary to correct a substantial injustice or there is a reasonable argument that there is an error to be corrected.
