§ 101. Mr. Beswickasked the Attorney-General what is the procedure for an appellant who wishes to take his case 380W from the Appeals Tribunal to the High Court; what is the estimated cost of such an appeal; and who would bear that cost.
§ The Attorney-GeneralThe procedure to be followed in an appeal from a Pensions Appeal Tribunal to a judge of the High Court is set out in Rule 23 of the Pensions Appeal Tribunal Rules, 1943, and Order 55E of the Rules of the Supreme Court, to which I would refer the hon. Member. The taxed costs of such an appeal vary, according to the importance and complexity of the case, from about £20 to almost £200. They are borne by the Exchequer irrespective of whether the appellant succeeds or fails in his appeal.
