When must an eligible Court of Appeal review be requested?
CPR 52.24(7) requires an eligible officer-decision review or single-judge paper reconsideration request within 7 days after the party is served with notice of the decision. Certain single-judge decisions are excluded.
Responsible actor. Party requesting review.
This seven-day Court of Appeal internal review follows service of notice. It does not create an oral renewal right for a permission refusal.
Rule 52.24(7) uses service on the party of notice of the eligible decision.
Officer decisions use paragraph 5. Single-judge paper decisions use paragraph 6, which excludes an officer-review decision and a decision determining permission to appeal.
CPR 52.24(5)–(7)How does this provision count time?
- CPR 52.24(7) requires an eligible officer-decision review or single-judge paper reconsideration request within 7 days after the party is served with notice of the decision. Certain single-judge decisions are excluded.
- Paragraph 5 provides review by a single judge, ordinarily on paper.
- File the request within the established service-based period. Identify the decision-maker and eligible review branch before using the date.
For CPR 52.24(5)–(7), exclude the established starting day and count the next 7 calendar days. CPR 2.8(3)(b) does not exclude an additional fixed compliance day. This is the ordinary fixed-after branch, not a minimum interval between two specified events.
The CPR 52.24(5)–(7) court-office filing act can use CPR 2.8(5) when its fixed endpoint is closed. Check the actual office, any exceptional closure and the order. This does not extend a separate service act.

Fictitious example
Notice of an eligible officer decision is effectively served on October 08. The request is within rule 52.24(5); the exclusion for permission decisions is respected. Officer decisions use paragraph 5. Single-judge paper decisions use paragraph 6, which excludes an officer-review decision and a decision determining permission to appeal.
| Step | What is counted | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Example 1. Ordinary established facts | Notice of an eligible officer decision is effectively served on October 08. The request is within rule 52.24(5); the exclusion for permission decisions is respected. Officer decisions use paragraph 5. Single-judge paper decisions use paragraph 6, which excludes an officer-review decision and a decision determining permission to appeal. Exactly 7 counted calendar dates follow the established event; the starting date is excluded. | Thursday, October 15, 2026 |
| Example 2. Closed-day boundary | Notice of an eligible officer decision is effectively served on October 17. The request is within rule 52.24(5); the exclusion for permission decisions is respected. For this calendar counterexample the case and event branch are otherwise established. Officer decisions use paragraph 5. Single-judge paper decisions use paragraph 6, which excludes an officer-review decision and a decision determining permission to appeal. Ordinary England/Wales weekend or August 31 bank holiday. No exceptional court-office closure or contrary direction. Exactly 7 counted calendar dates follow the established event; the starting date is excluded. | Monday, October 26, 2026 |
| Example 3. Material procedural branch | The officer decision is made earlier but notice is effectively served on Monday, August 24, 2026. This is an eligible paragraph 5 officer-review request, not reconsideration of a permission refusal. Officer decisions use paragraph 5. Single-judge paper decisions use paragraph 6, which excludes an officer-review decision and a decision determining permission to appeal. This example establishes the stated operative branch independently of the calendar arithmetic. Exactly 7 counted calendar dates follow the established event; the starting date is excluded. | Tuesday, September 1, 2026 |
