The Judicial Committee (Appellate Jurisdiction) Rules Order 2009
The Schedule to this Order contains rules to govern the practice and procedure to be followed in relation to appeals to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. It replaces the Judicial Committee (General Appellate Jurisdiction) Rules Order 1982 (S.I. 1982/1676) and certain other statutory instruments which are revoked by article 4. Article 4(2) revokes the rules which regulated the exercise of the Judicial Committee’s devolution jurisdiction since that jurisdiction is transferred to the United Kingdom Supreme Court by the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 (c.4). Article 5 revokes a number of other Orders but only so far as they relate to the powers of the Judicial Committee and the procedure to be adopted by it with respect to proceedings before it. The procedure which these Orders provide for proceedings in the various courts from which appeals lie to the Judicial Committee is not affected.
