Civil justice has been undergoing a massive transformation. There
have been big changes in the management of judicial business; the
Human Rights Act 1988 has had a pervasive impact; the
Constitutional Reform Act 2005 has effected many changes - notably,
the prospective transfer of the appellate jurisdiction of the House
of Lords to a new Supreme Court. Against this backcloth of radical
change, this book looks at the recent history and the present-day
operation of the civil division of the Court of Appeal - a court
that, despite its pivotal position, has attracted surprisingly
little scholarly attention. It examines the impact of the
permission to appeal requirements, and the way in which
applications - particularly those by litigants in person - are
handled; it looks at the working methods of the Lords Justices and
at the leadership of the Court by recent Masters of the Rolls; it
considers the relationship between the Court and the House of Lords
- looking at high-profile cases in which the Court has been
reversed by the Lords. Notwithstanding the impending arrival of the
Supreme Court, it concludes that 'the Court of Appeal will remain
firmly in place, occupying its crucial position as, to all intents
and purposes, the court of last resort-indeed, a supreme court-for
most civil appellants.'
