Leave to appeal

There are certain orders in respect of which an appeal cannot be brought as of right. A party wishing to appeal from these orders must first apply to the court for leave to file a Notice of Appeal. Significantly, leave to appeal must be obtained in respect of any interlocutory order involving financial or procedural issues.

The Family Law Act 1975 sets out a table, at s 94AA, of all matters in which leave to appeal must be obtained prior to a Notice of Appeal being lodged with the court.

See Leave to appeal.
