383 Refusal to reserve question of law

(1) If the County Court or the Trial Division of the Supreme Court refuses an application under section 381 to reserve a question of law, the applicant may apply to the Court of Appeal for an order calling on—

(a) the court that dismissed the application; and

(b) the respondent—

to show cause why the question of law should not be reserved for determination by the Court of Appeal.

(2) On an application under subsection (1), the Court of Appeal may order that the question of law be reserved for its determination or refuse the application with or without costs.

(3) If the Court of Appeal orders that the question of law be reserved, the court to which the order is directed must reserve the question for determination by the Court of Appeal.
