28. DISPUTE BETWEEN PARTIES DISPOSED OF 28.1 It is the duty of counsel and solicitors in any pending appeal, if an event occurs which arguably disposes of the dispute between the parties, either to ensure that the appeal is withdrawn by consent or, if there is no agreement to that course, to bring the facts promptly to the attention of the House, and to seek directions. 29. DOCUMENTS: DISPOSAL OF 29.1 All petitions and supporting documents lodged become the property of the House. However if application is made in writing within fourteen days of the determination of an appeal or a petition for leave to appeal, documents other than the original petition may, at the direction of the Principal Clerk, be returned to the parties. 30. DOCUMENTS: PREPARATION OF General 30.1 Documents which are not clearly legible or which are not produced in the form specified will not be accepted. 30.2 The Judicial Office can give advice as to the form and content of documents for lodging. Parties are advised to consult the office at all stages of preparation and should submit proofs for approval where appropriate. 30.3 Appendix J shows the numbers of documents usually required for the hearing of an appeal. 30.4 All formal documents should be produced on good quality A4 paper, bound on the left like a book and using both sides of the paper. Original petitions should be sewn. Form of statement and case 30.5 The statement and case should be produced with letters down the inside margin. The outside margin should carry references to the relevant pages of the appendix. 30.6 The front page of the statement should carry the references of every law report of the cause in the courts below. A head-note summary should be given, whether or not the cause has been reported. 30.7 The front page of the statement should carry an indication of the time occupied by the cause in each court below. 30.8 The statement should be signed by counsel on both sides above their printed names59. 30.9 Each party's case should be signed by counsel above their printed names60. Form of appendix 30.10 The appendix should be bound with a plastic comb binding and blue card covers. 30.11 All documents must be numbered and each part of the appendix must contain a list of its contents. 30.12 Documents should be reproduced economically and in the minimum number necessary for the purposes of the appeal. Originals under the size of A4 should be enlarged to A4 size with a broad outside margin. 30.13 Documents of an unsuitable size or form for binding with the other documents (such as maps or booklets) should be inserted in pockets at the back of the appropriate volume. Form of bound volumes 30.14 The bound volumes should be bound in the same manner as the appendix. They should contain cut-out indices for each of the items listed in Direction 16.1, tabbed with the name of the document on the front sheet of each. The front cover should carry a list of the contents and the names of the agents for all parties61. The short title of the cause should be given on a strip affixed to the plastic spine. Each volume should include a few blank pages at either end. Form of authorities volumes 30.15 The authorities volumes should be bound with a plastic comb binding and green card covers62. Small, flexible covers should be used. No volume should be more than one inch thick. 30.16 The volumes should be numbered consecutively on the cover and spine with very large Roman numerals, for swift identification of different volumes during the hearing. The front cover should also carry the cause title63 and the names of the agents for all parties. The spine should carry the cause title64. 30.17 The authorities themselves should be separated by numbered dividers. Each volume should include a few blank pages at either end. 30.18 Authorities should be reproduced economically and in the minimum number necessary for the purposes of the appeal. Originals under the size of A4 should be enlarged to A4 size with a broad outside margin. 31. EUROPEAN CONVENTION ON HUMAN RIGHTS 31.1 [To be promulgated.] 32. EUROPEAN COURT OF JUSTICE 32.1 Article 234 of the Treaty establishing the European Communities provides:
(b) the validity and interpretation of acts of the institutions of the Community and of the European Central Bank; (c) the interpretation of the statutes of bodies established by an act of the Council, where those statutes so provide. 2. Where such a question is raised before any court or tribunal of a Member State, that court or tribunal may, if it considers that a decision on the question is necessary to enable it to give judgment, request the Court of Justice to give a ruling thereon. 3. Where any such question is raised in a case pending before a court or tribunal of a Member State against whose decisions there is no judicial remedy under national law, that court or tribunal shall bring the matter before the Court of Justice. 32.2 When the House intends to make a reference, the hearing will be adjourned and the parties will be invited to submit an agreed draft of the question(s) to be referred. A further statement of facts and issues, for the convenience of the Court of Justice of the European Communities, may also be appropriate. The House will then make the reference, with or without Opinions. At this stage the appeal may also be disposed of in part. 32.3 Within one month of the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Communities, the parties must make written submissions as to the disposal of the appeal or whether a further hearing is necessary. 32.4 If a further hearing is required, the parties may seek leave to lodge supplemental cases. 32.5 The Court of Justice of the European Communities does not make orders for costs. Costs will be covered by the order of the House which disposes of the appeal; and, if necessary, will be taxed by the House of Lords taxing authorities. 33. EXHIBITS 33.1 Parties who require exhibits (such as machines in a patent action) to be available for inspection at the hearing must apply to the Judicial Office for permission for the exhibits to be brought to the House before the hearing. 34. FEES AND SECURITY: PAYMENTS AND DEPOSITS 34.1 Payments of fees and deposits of security money may be made in cash or by bankers draft or cheque. Drafts and cheques for fees must be made payable to 'House of Lords Account'. Drafts and cheques for security money must be made payable to 'House of Lords Security Fund Account'. 35. FEES: WAIVER OF 35.1 Under Standing Order XIII, any party or potential party who has been refused legal aid in the action in question may at any stage apply for any fee to be waived, modified or suspended, either wholly or in part, on the ground of financial hardship. Application should be made to the Judicial Office. 36. INTERVENERS 36.1 Participation in a cause as an intervener in a court below does not entitle a person to intervene in the House of Lords. Application for leave to intervene in an appeal must be made by petition65, together with the appropriate fee. The petition may only be presented after the petition of appeal has been presented to the House. The petition must indicate whether leave is sought for written interventions alone, or for written and oral interventions. The petition should be certified with the consent of the parties in the case. If consent is refused, the petition should be endorsed with a certificate of service on the parties. All petitions for leave to intervene, whether opposed by the parties or not, will be referred to an Appeal Committee66. 36.2 If the Crown has been joined to proceedings in the court below in accordance with the provisions of s.5 Human Rights Act 1998, the leave of the House is not necessary for the continued intervention of the Crown. 37. LEGAL AID 37.1 The House of Lords does not grant legal aid. Application should be made to the appropriate Area Office of the Legal Aid Board, or, in Northern Ireland, to the Legal Aid Committee, or, in Scotland, to the Scottish Legal Aid Board. 37.2 A party to whom a certificate is issued must immediately lodge the certificate, or a copy of it, in the Judicial Office. An emergency certificate, or subsequent amendments, and the authority for leading counsel, must also be lodged. 37.3 Where a prospective petitioner or appellant has applied for legal aid, the Judicial Office must be informed in writing of the date on which the application was made within the original time limit for lodging the petition. The period within which a petition may be lodged will then be extended to one month after the final determination of the legal aid application. (If the Judicial Office is not informed of the legal aid application, the petition will be out of time as soon as the original time limit has expired.) The other parties to the proposed petition must also be informed in writing that a legal aid application has been made. 37.4 Where a respondent to an appeal has applied for legal aid, the Judicial Office must be informed within the original time limit for lodging the statement and appendix. The period will then be extended to six weeks after the final determination of the legal aid application. 37.5Where a certificate is granted, the date of final determination is the date of issue of the certificate. 38. LODGMENT 38.1 'Lodgment' and 'lodging' mean delivery to a member of the Judicial Office staff, either in person during opening hours or by post. Where the time for lodging a document expires on a Saturday, Sunday, Bank holiday, or any other day on which the Judicial Office is closed, it will be received if it is lodged on the first day on which the Office is next open. 38.2 Communications may be transmitted by facsimile, and the cost of such transmission will be allowed on taxation, only where urgent circumstances make this appropriate. No document which is to be presented to the House or upon which a fee is payable may be so transmitted. 38.3 Any agent who attends the Judicial Office to lodge papers must be familiar with the subject matter to be dealt with. 39. NEW SUBMISSIONS 39.1 If, after the conclusion of the argument of an appeal, a party wishes to bring to the notice of the House new circumstances which have arisen and which might affect the decision or order of the House, application must be made forthwith (by letter to the Principal Clerk) for leave to make new submissions. The application should indicate the circumstances and the submissions it is desired to make, and a copy must be sent to the agents for the other parties to the appeal. 40. OPPOSED INCIDENTAL PETITIONS 40.1 Unless the Principal Clerk directs otherwise, opposed incidental petitions (including any interlocutory petition which relates to any petition of appeal) will be referred to an Appeal Committee. 40.2 Six copies of the petition must be lodged together with the appropriate fee. The original petition should bear a certificate of service on the other parties and must clearly indicate whether the other parties consent or refuse to consent to the prayer. 40.3 If an oral hearing is ordered, the parties may apply at that time to hand in affidavits and such other documents as they may wish. Six copies will be required. Copies of such documents must be served on the other parties before the oral hearing. Authorities should not normally be cited before the Appeal Committee. 41. PATENT: APPEAL FROM ORDER FOR REVOCATION OF 41.1 This Direction applies to any appeal direct from the High Court in pursuance of s. 12 and 13 of the Administration of Justice Act 1969, from an order for the revocation of a patent made under s. 32 or 61 of the Patents Act 1949 or under s. 72 of the Patents Act 1977. 41.2 Notice of intention to present an appeal, with a copy of the petition of appeal, must be served on the Comptroller-General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks, as well as on the respondents. 41.3 If, at any time before the appeal comes on for hearing, the respondents decide not to appear on the appeal or not to oppose it, they must forthwith serve notice of this decision on the Comptroller and on the appellants. Any such notice served on the Comptroller must be accompanied by a copy of the petition under the said s. 32 or of the pleadings in the action and the affidavits filed therein. 41.4 The Comptroller must, within 14 days of receiving notice of the respondents' decision, serve on the appellant and lodge in the Judicial Office a notice stating whether or not he intends to appear on the appeal. 41.5 The Comptroller may appear and be heard in opposition to the appeal: a) in any case where he has given notice of his intention to appear, and b) in any other case (including in particular a case where the respondents withdraw opposition to the appeal during the hearing) if the House so directs or allows. 41.6 The House will make such orders for the postponement or adjournment of the hearing of the appeal as may appear necessary for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of this Direction. 42. SPECIALIST ADVISERS 42.1 Any party to an appeal may apply in writing to the Clerk of the Parliaments for Specialist Advisers to attend the hearing71. 43. STAY OF EXECUTION 43.1 Presentation of a petition of appeal, or a petition for leave to appeal, does not in itself place a stay of execution on any order appealed from. A party seeking such a stay should apply to the court appealed from, not to the House of Lords. The House cannot stay an interlocutor of the Court of Session72. 44. TRANSCRIPTION 44.1 Hearings are not generally transcribed by the House. Any party may seek leave to arrange for its own transcription of a hearing, by writing to the Principal Clerk. If leave is given, the service arranged must be silent. A single copy of the transcript should be lodged in the Judicial Office as soon as it is available. 45. WITHDRAWAL OF PETITIONS Petitions for leave to appeal 45.1 A petition for leave to appeal may be withdrawn by writing to the Principal Clerk, stating that the parties to the petition have agreed how the costs should be settled. The respondents should notify the Judicial Office of their agreement. Petitions of appeal 45.2 An appeal which has not been set down for hearing may be withdrawn by writing to the Principal Clerk, stating that the parties to the appeal have agreed the costs of the appeal. The nature of the agreement should be indicated. Where appropriate, the letter should also indicate how the security money should be disposed of. Written notification must also be given to the respondents who must notify the Judicial Office of their agreement to the withdrawal of the appeal and who must confirm that the costs have been agreed. 45.3 An appeal which has been set down for hearing may only be withdrawn by order of the House on petition73. Such petition, which should include submissions on costs and, where appropriate, indicate how the security money should be disposed of, must be submitted for their consent to those respondents who have entered appearance. The petition should be lodged with the appropriate fee. STANDING ORDERS Standing Order No. 16 of the House of Lords relating to Public Business
