Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This rule lets the High Court, or a single Justice, discretionarily accelerate appeals in urgent cases — including listing them on any sitting day and shortening the respondent’s notice period as fairness requires. It affects parties in High Court appeals who need rapid resolution, providing an exception to ordinary timing rules to prevent delay-caused injustice.
