Section 7C: Appeals to Supreme Court: permission to appeal

Special Immigration Appeals Commission Act 1997 · 1997 c. 68View on legislation.gov.uk

If the Special Immigration Appeals Commission grants a certificate under section 7B in relation to a final determination, a party to the appeal or review to which the final determination relates may apply to the Supreme Court for permission to appeal directly to the Supreme Court.

An application under subsection (1) must be made—

within one month from the date on which that certificate is granted, or
within such time as the Supreme Court may allow in a particular case.

If on such an application it appears to the Supreme Court to be expedient to do so, the Supreme Court may grant permission for such an appeal.

If permission is granted under this section—

no appeal from the final determination to which the certificate relates lies to the appropriate appeal court, but
an appeal lies from that determination to the Supreme Court.

An application under subsection (1) is to be determined without a hearing.

Subject to subsection (4), no appeal lies to the appropriate appeal court from a final determination of the Commission in respect of which a certificate is granted under section 7B until—

the time within which an application can be made under subsection (1) has expired, and
where such an application is made, that application has been determined in accordance with this section.
