The procedure in the Order corresponds to the procedure that is followed for criminal appeals as these appeals will be heard in the Court of Appeal Criminal Division. Orders will also be made and varied by the High Court and appeals from the High Court will be brought in the Court of Appeal Civil Division. As a result there will be appeals in both divisions of the Court of Appeal.
