Usually it is necessary to apply to the Supreme Court for permission to appeal. An "Appeals Committee" of three Supreme Court Justices will decide whether to grant permission to appeal or not.
Permission is given extremely sparingly, usually in relation to cases involving important points of principle. However, the Supreme Court is obliged to take a case where it involves a European Community law point that is not acte clair , so we often approach appeals to the Supreme Court with more hope than many prospective appellants because many of our cases involve such points.
The other parties may be asked to provide observations before the Appeals Committee makes up its mind. If still undecided, it can order a short oral hearing.
If permission is granted, the procedure in the Supreme Court is elaborate and relatively expensive. But - if you are the appellant - you are lucky to be there. We have had several cases go to the Supreme Court or its predecessor, the House of Lords. Similarly the Barker case, concerning the old Crystal Palace site which, together with Wells, is of great importance to the application of environmental impact assessment EIA rules in the planning system.
Another case Mellor has been important for clarifying the reasoning required when public authorities do not require EIA and by extension it is good for reasoning and accountability generally. We successfully defended a decision of the Court of Appeal in relation to EIA of old minerals permissions in the Preston under Scar case.
We successfully appealed Berkeley which has proved crucial to effective implementation of the EIA directive. We successfully defended an attempt by the Secretary of State to obtain leave to appeal Huddleston to the House of Lords. We won Burkett, clarifying when time starts to run for making judicial review applications which has made a huge improvement to the fairness of public law work in our view. Following the hearing of the appeal, the Appeal Committee will consider the facts of the case and may uphold or dismiss an appeal, in whole or in part.
The decision of the Appeal Committee will be notified to the appellant in writing and recorded in a document signed by the Chair, giving the reasons for this decision within 7 working days or as soon as reasonably practicable.
A copy of the document and letter will be sent to the Director of Human Resources, and to the Head of Institution. Where an individual other than the Head of Institution has considered and made a decision regarding a dignity at work complaint, the actual Head of Institution will be informed of the outcome. It is anticipated that appeal will be by way of review of the outcome of the formal process. However, in exceptional circumstances the Chair of the Appeal Committee may determine that a rehearing is necessary.

Several courts of appeals, however, have established a bankruptcy appellate panel consisting of three bankruptcy judges to hear appeals directly from the bankruptcy courts. In either situation, the party that loses in the initial bankruptcy appeal may then appeal to the court of appeals.
Appeals are decided by panels of three judges working together. The appellant presents legal arguments to the panel, in writing, in a document called a "brief. On the other hand, the party defending against the appeal, known as the "appellee," tries in its brief to show why the trial court decision was correct, or why any error made by the trial court was not significant enough to affect the outcome of the case.
A litigant who is not satisfied with a decision made by a federal administrative agency usually may file a petition for review of the agency decision by a court of appeals. Judicial review in cases involving certain federal agencies or programs — for example, disputes over Social Security benefits — may be obtained first in a district court rather than a court of appeals.
