Ms Angela Denning:

You can understand already how it is such a technical list. Once the High Court makes its decision, if it is a planning judicial review case, that can only be appealed to the Court of Appeal if the High Court judge certifies there is an important point of law. There is no automatic appeal up. You can only go to the Supreme Court if it looks at your application and decides that a constitutional point of law is involved. We had very few appeals on from planning cases because of that provision in the Planning and Development Act.
