See the Appeals from the Upper Tribunal to the Court of Appeal Order 2008 ("the Appeals Order") made by the Lord Chancellor under section 13(6) of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 ("the 2007 Act"). When deciding whether to grant permission to appeal to the Court of Appeal from determinations of the AIT, second appeal criteria were not applicable.

Mr Hall submitted that this provision and paragraph 14(4) in schedule 4, which is concerned with the continuing validity of directions or orders, were simply concerned with detailed matters, such as service of decisions for the purpose of time limits and with procedural orders and directions respectively.
