(b)in any event not later than 7 days,

52.13.—(1) A respondent may file and serve a respondent’s notice.
(2) A respondent who—

(a)the date the respondent is served with the appellant’s notice where—
(i)permission to appeal was given by the lower court; or
(ii)permission to appeal is not required;
(b)the date the respondent is served with notification that the appeal court has given the appellant permission to appeal; or

52.14.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), the lower court or the appeal court may direct, on the application of a party to the proceedings, that an official transcript of the judgment of the lower court, or of any part of the evidence or the proceedings in the lower court, be obtained at public expense for the purposes of an appeal.
(2) Before making a direction under paragraph (1), the court must be satisfied that—

(b)it is necessary in the interests of justice for such a transcript to be obtained.
52.15—(1) An application to vary the time limit for filing an appeal notice must be made to the appeal court.
(2) The parties may not agree to extend any date or time set by—

(c)an order of the appeal court or the lower court.
(Rule 3.1(2)(a) provides that the court may extend or shorten the time for compliance with any rule, practice direction or court order (even if an application for extension is made after the time for compliance has expired).)

52.16. Unless—
(a)the appeal court or the lower court orders otherwise; or
(b)the appeal is from the Immigration and Asylum Chamber of the Upper Tribunal,

52.19.—(1) In any proceedings in which costs recovery is normally limited or excluded at first instance, an appeal court may make an order that the recoverable costs of an appeal will be limited to the extent which the court specifies.
(2) In making such an order the court will have regard to—
(a)the means of both parties;
(b)all the circumstances of the case; and
(c)the need to facilitate access to justice.
(3) If the appeal raises an issue of principle or practice upon which substantial sums may turn, it may not be appropriate to make an order under paragraph (1).
(4) An application for such an order must be made as soon as practicable and will be determined without a hearing unless the court orders otherwise.
52.20.—(1) In relation to an appeal the appeal court has all the powers of the lower court.
(Rule 52.1(4) provides that this Part is subject to any enactment that sets out special provisions with regard to any particular category of appeal. Where such an enactment gives a statutory power to a tribunal, person or other body, it may be the case that the appeal court may not exercise that power on an appeal.)
(2) The appeal court has power to—
(a)affirm, set aside or vary any order or judgment made or given by the lower court;
(b)refer any claim or issue for determination by the lower court;
(c)order a new trial or hearing;
(d)make orders for the payment of interest;
(e)make a costs order.
(3) In an appeal from a claim tried with a jury the Court of Appeal may, instead of ordering a new trial—
(a)make an order for damages; or
(b)vary an award of damages made by the jury.
(4) The appeal court may exercise its powers in relation to the whole or part of an order of the lower court.
(Part 3 contains general rules about the court’s case management powers.)
(5) If the appeal court—
(a)refuses an application for permission to appeal;
(b)strikes out an appellant’s notice; or
(c)dismisses an appeal,
and it considers that the application, the appellant’s notice or the appeal is totally without merit, the provisions of paragraph (6) must be complied with.
(6) Where paragraph (5) applies—
(a)the court’s order must record the fact that it considers the application, the appellant’s notice or the appeal to be totally without merit; and
(b)the court must at the same time consider whether it is appropriate to make a civil restraint order.
52.21.—(1) Every appeal will be limited to a review of the decision of the lower court unless—
(a)a practice direction makes different provision for a particular category of appeal; or
(b)the court considers that in the circumstances of an individual appeal it would be in the interests of justice to hold a re-hearing.
(2) Unless it orders otherwise, the appeal court will not receive—
(a)oral evidence; or
(b)evidence which was not before the lower court.
(3) The appeal court will allow an appeal where the decision of the lower court was—
(a)wrong; or
(b)unjust because of a serious procedural or other irregularity in the proceedings in the lower court.
(4) The appeal court may draw any inference of fact which it considers justified on the evidence.
(5) At the hearing of the appeal, a party may not rely on a matter not contained in that party’s appeal notice unless the court gives permission.
52.22.—(1) The fact that a Part 36 offer or payment into court has been made must not be disclosed to any judge of the appeal court who is to hear or determine—
(a)an application for permission to appeal; or
(b)an appeal,
until all questions (other than costs) have been determined.
(2) Paragraph (1) does not apply if the Part 36 offer or payment into court is relevant to the substance of the appeal.
(3) Paragraph (1) does not prevent disclosure in any application in the appeal proceedings if disclosure of the fact that a Part 36 offer or payment into court has been made is properly relevant to the matter to be decided.
(Rule 36.4 has the effect that a Part 36 offer made in proceedings at first instance will not have consequences in any appeal proceedings. Therefore, a fresh Part 36 offer needs to be made in appeal proceedings. However, this rule applies to a Part 36 offer whether made in the original proceedings or in the appeal.)]
