Appeals of Sufficient Significance for Full Court

The Judges of the Court of Appeal have adopted the
following procedure for determining whether a case is of
sufficient significance to warrant the consideration of a
Full Court:

● Practice notes will require parties to notify the Court at
an appropriate stage of the proceeding if a Full Court
is sought.

● Before final confirmation of a fixture, the President or
his nominee will assess the significance of the appeal
taking into account:

(a) the importance of the issues, including any legal,
social and general economic implications;

(b) whether it is appropriate to reconsider a previous
decision of the Court;

(c) the desirability of resolving any conflicting decisions
of the High Court;

(d) the request (if any) by a party for a Full Court
hearing;

(e) the availability of Judges;

(f) the urgency of the appeal in the particular case;

(g) any other relevant matters.

● The appeal will be assessed by the President, acting
President or nominee as "suitable", "possibly suitable"
or "unsuitable".

● Appeals assessed as "suitable" will be considered by the
Full Court.

● Appeals assessed as "possibly suitable", and any other
appeal to which (d) above applies will be referred to at
least two other members of the Court, and following
consultation the President, acting President or nominee
will decide (by majority) whether the appeal is or is not
of sufficient significance.

● Appeals assessed as "unsuitable" will not be considered
by the Full Court.

● The members of the Court will consult regularly to
review the criteria, their implementation and the general
effect of the allocation to the Full Court on the overall
workload of the Court.

Dated at Wellington this 30th day of April 2004.

NOEL CROSSLEY ANDERSON, President of the Court of
Appeal.

Note: The Full Court will also consider references from
a division of the Court made pursuant to section 58 (6) of
the Judicature Act 1908 and appeals under section 10 of the
Courts Martial Appeals Act 1953.

Also Note: These procedures replace those adopted on
1 August 1998 and notified in the New Zealand Gazette,
24 September 1998, page 3790.
