Where a party to an appeal having been summoned does not attend, the Military Court of Appeal may hear the appeal in his or her absence.

During the hearing of the appeal, the appellant must be heard first and the respondent heard after the appellant; the appellant is then entitled to reply.

Where appeals by several persons are heard jointly, the president of the Military Court of Appeal must determine the order in which they are to be heard.

The president of the Military Court of Appeal may permit any party to present additional arguments.
