56 days from the date of the order or decision of the court below, or the date of the court below refusing permission to appeal (if later)
JCPC Rules 2024, r 13(1); PD 2.11(a)Binding
Time runs differently depending on the originating jurisdiction in the sense of WHICH order starts the clock: where permission (leave) was sought from the court below and refused, the 56 days run from that refusal; otherwise from the substantive order. Permission should be sought from the court below first (PD 2.11(a)). Whether an appeal lies as of right, by leave of the local Court of Appeal, or only by special leave of the Board depends on the law of the country or territory concerned (PD 1.5-1.9). PD 2.12: the Registrar may reject an application solely on the ground that it is out of time.
