Appeals to Court of Appeal—cross-appeal

    (1)     If a respondent wants to appeal from all or part of the order appealed from, or wants an amendment of the order, the respondent need not start a substantive appeal.

    (2)     However, the respondent must—

        (a)     file a notice of cross-appeal in the court not later than 28 days after the day the notice of appeal is served on the respondent, or not later than any further time allowed by the Court of Appeal; and

        (b)     serve a sealed copy of the notice of cross-appeal, not later than 7 days after the day the notice of cross-appeal is filed, but no later than 5 days before the day for settling the appeal papers, unless the Court of Appeal otherwise orders, on the following:

              (i)     each appellant and any other respondent;

              (ii)     any other party to the proceeding in which the order appealed from was made who would be directly affected by the order that the respondent seeks.

Note 1     See approved form 5.12 (Court of Appeal—notice of cross-appeal) AF2015-56

.

Note 2     Pt 6.2 (Applications in proceedings) applies to an application for further time.

    (3)     The notice of cross-appeal must state—

        (a)     whether the appeal is from all or part of the order or seeks an amendment of the order; and

        (b)     if the appeal is from part of the order or seeks an amendment of the order—the part the respondent cross-appeals from; and

        (c)     either—

              (i)     the order that the respondent seeks instead of the order cross-appealed; or

              (ii)     the amendment of the order that the respondent seeks; and

        (d)     whether the respondent will seek to put further evidence before the Court of Appeal; and

        (e)     if further evidence is to be put before the Court of Appeal—briefly the nature of the evidence and what is sought to be proved; and

        (f)     briefly, but specifically, the grounds relied on in support of the appeal, including, in particular, any grounds on which it is contended that there is an error of law in the order appealed from.

    (4)     The notice of cross-appeal must be accompanied by a 1-paragraph (about 250 words) summary (the "case summary") of—

        (a)     the order appealed from; and

        (b)     the grounds relied on in support of the appeal.

    (5)     On the hearing of a cross-appeal, the respondent bringing the cross-appeal must not, without the Court of Appeal's leave—

        (a)     raise any question that is not stated in the notice of cross-appeal; or

        (b)     rely on any ground in support of—

              (i)     the order sought that is not stated in the notice of cross-appeal; or

              (ii)     the amendment of the order sought that is not stated in the notice of cross-appeal.
