You may be able to appeal a county court or High Court decision to the Court of Appeal Civil Division.
The court also handles appeals against decisions by the Upper Tribunal, Employment Appeal Tribunal and Competition Appeal Tribunal.
You normally have to ask the judge’s permission before you can appeal. You’ll need to do this quickly, often within a few weeks.
You’ll have to pay to use the court, and you could end up paying the other side’s costs if you lose your case.
Check you have a good case
You usually only get one chance to appeal, and in almost all cases you must ask for the judge’s permission to appeal against their decision.
The judge will only let you appeal if you have a real chance of success or there’s another very strong reason why the appeal should be heard.
You must explain why the decision was wrong or unfair – for instance there was a serious mistake or the court didn’t follow the right steps.
Check you’re in time
You usually have 21 days to appeal against a county court or High Court decision, or 28 days if it’s an Upper Tribunal decision. In some cases there is a 7 day time limit for appealing.
Legal costs
In most cases the losing side will have to pay the other side’s costs, such as their legal fees.
The court may not award you costs if you acted unreasonably during the appeal – for instance if you refused to consider mediation without a good reason.
If you lose your appeal
The court’s decision is usually final.
Speak to your legal adviser if you want to appeal to the Supreme Court.
