Settling an appeal
73 Settling an appeal
The parties to an appeal may lodge a Form 24 (Consent notice), modified as necessary, stating the final order that the parties consent to being made in the appeal.
When a consent notice is lodged, the registrar must refer it to a judge who may direct the registrar —
to issue a final order in accordance with the notice; or
to notify the parties that the judge will decide the final orders at a hearing.
A settlement or compromise of an appeal to which a person who appears to the court to be under disability (as defined in the RSC Order 70 rule 1) is a party has no effect unless it is approved by a judge of appeal.
An application for the approval of a judge of appeal must be lodged with an affidavit and, unless a judge of appeal orders otherwise, an opinion by an independent legal practitioner.
