If the Upper Tribunal grants a certificate under section 14A in relation to any proceedings, a party to those proceedings 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 decision to which the certificate relates lies to the relevant appellate court, but
an appeal lies from that decision 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 relevant appellate court from a decision of the Upper Tribunal in respect of which a certificate is granted under section 14A 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.
