Feedback & supportLast amended by an amending law of 2021. 2 amendments in all.
Any party to proceedings before a tribunal may appeal to the General Division of the High Court against an order made by the tribunal under section 22(1) —
tribunal
“tribunal” means a subordinate court called an Employment Claims Tribunal constituted under section 4 of the State Courts Act 1970;
on any ground involving a question of law; or
on the ground that the claim was outside the jurisdiction of the tribunal.
An appeal lies to the General Division of the High Court under this section only if permission to appeal is given by a District Court.
Where the only reason for appealing against an order made by a tribunal under section 22(1) is to rectify anything mentioned in section 22(10)(a) to (d), a District Court may, instead of giving permission to appeal —
extend the time under section 22(10) for the correction of the order; and
remit the matter to a tribunal for the correction of the order in accordance with section 22(10) and (11) (except to the extent that the time under section 22(10) may have been extended).
Each of the following is final and is not subject to any appeal:
any order of a District Court giving or refusing permission under subsection (2);
any order of a District Court extending or refusing to extend under subsection (3)(a) the time under section 22(10) for the correction of an order made by a tribunal;
any order of a District Court remitting or refusing to remit under subsection (3)(b) a matter to a tribunal.
