Chapter 3: The requirement for leave to appeal
The requirement for leave to appeal should be extended to all cases coming to the CA except for:
appeals against committal orders or refusals to grant habeas corpus, as these cases involve the liberty of the subject; adoption cases; and child abduction cases.
An application for leave to appeal should continue to be made to the court below either at the moment of decision or subsequently, provided it can be placed before the judge who made the decision against which it is sought to appeal.
