2.      In addition to the summary of argument referred to in Rule 94.03 and the application document (Form 21, Supreme Court Rules) the applicant must file four copies of the summary of argument and three copies of the book of documents with the Appeals Officer.

 

3.      The book of documents must contain the following:

          (a)  The application for leave to appeal.

          (b)  The sealed order in respect of which leave to appeal is sought.

          (c)   A sealed order refusing leave to appeal, if any.

          (d)  The reasons given by the Judge for his decision and for refusing leave to appeal, if any.

          Unless a contrary direction is given by the Court no other documents need be lodged prior to the Full Court considering the application for leave to appeal.

 

4.      If leave to appeal is granted then the other requirements of Rule 95.09, 95.10 and Practice Direction No. 13 must be complied with before the appeal is set down for hearing.

 

5.      The intended appellants will be advised in writing of the result of the application once the result has been determined by the Full Court.
