Practice Notes

This Practice Note considers the procedure for applying (applications) for leave to appeal (or permission to appeal) an arbitral (or arbitration) award on a point (or question) of law to the English court under section 69 of the Arbitration Act 1996 (AA 1996) in England and Wales, and the test applied by the courts in deciding whether to grant leave or permission to appeal (the test for permission or leave to appeal). It sets out how to apply for leave including what the arbitration claim form, evidence in support and skeleton argument must contain and what form they must take. The Practice Note also gives details of the respondent's notice and appellant's reply. It also considers the requirements of the hearing bundle (if an oral hearing is required). The Practice Note covers the potential outcome of the application for leave/permission and whether a refusal to grant leave can itself be appealed (appealing decisions on leave or permission to appeal). This topic may be referred to as: how to apply for permission to appeal an award; applying for leave to set aside an arbitral award on a point (or question) of law; appeals against arbitral awards; appeals for error of law; challenging awards on points or questions of law; appeals against awards under CPR 62 or Part 62; right to appeal an arbitral award; post-award appeals in English-seated arbitrations; and, AA 1996, s 69 appeals.
