Which deadline applies to a statutory civil appeal under PD 52D?

The enabling statute and actual appeal route control. PD 52D contains different periods and events. Its twenty-eight-day Upper Tribunal provision is not a universal deadline for every statutory appeal.

Responsible actor. The appellant using the established statutory appeal route.

The decision, sealed order, sent permission notice or other event specified by the actual appeal provision

Paragraph 3.3 concerns notice of the UT permission decision sent to the appellant, subject to rule 52.9.

Identify the tribunal or decision-maker, appellate court, permission route and enabling enactment. A generic decision date cannot settle all PD 52D appeals.

1. Count the period specified for the actual route from its own event. The sent date in paragraph 3.3 differs from an EAT sealed order under paragraph 11.1.
2. Paragraph 11.1(2) uses twenty-one days from the sealed EAT order where EAT permission was refused or not sought.

Identify the tribunal or decision-maker, appellate court, permission route and enabling enactment. A generic decision date cannot settle all PD 52D appeals. Paragraph 11.1(2) uses twenty-one days from the sealed EAT order where EAT permission was refused or not sought.

The EAT sealed order is dated October 9, 2026 and EAT permission was refused. Paragraph 11.1(2) supplies its specific twenty-one-day branch, rather than a generic twenty-eight days. Use the established EAT route and sealed-order event.

A statutory appeal’s nominal endpoint meets an office closure. The actual statute, counting rule and extension restrictions must be checked. Review that route before assuming a carried filing date.

The UT sends its permission decision and sends reasons later. Paragraphs 3.3 and 3.3A distinguish their operative events. Use the actual sent event required by the applicable paragraph.
