Keep in mind: You can only file an appeal after there has been a final ruling in your case, although there are some exceptions to this rule.
See What is a motion to stay? You cannot introduce new evidence when you appeal your case to a higher court. The higher court only looks at what was said and done in the trial court. Did you find this information helpful? Yes No. When considering whether filing an appeal is the right option for you, you will want to consider the following things: Time : An appeal can take up to a year or more from start to finish.

Jump to navigation. Solicitors' charges vary enormously. The main factors are 1 geographical - where the lawyer is based - much higher in the City of London than more rural areas; 2 his or her experience - years in practice and speciality; and 3 the type of work. The courts and Ministry of Justice have developed a tariff of hourly rates which are used to assess what parties should pay when they lose a case.
These are only a guide, and we expect to be able to recover at rather higher levels to reflect our experience and speciality. Understandably, clients therefore wonder if they win a case, and have costs ordered in their favour, why they should have to pay at all. The problem is that during litigation you will almost always end up doing work the costs of which for one reason or another cannot be recovered from the other side.
The other side might, for example, object to the amount claimed, or extra work caused by overlap between two fee earners, or travelling to see the client where the client might have come to visit the solicitor, or what is perceived as excessive time spent on the case. Normally, doubt is resolved in favour of the paying party. This varies. Among these in particular it is a real bugbear with clients!
These can be recovered in rare situations, such as where the client is offering expert evidence. The costs of sorting out funding arrangements are also generally not recoverable. The same factors of course affect exposure to the other side's costs.
Usually solicitors in public bodies including the Government Legal Department charge at less than commercial rates, and their bills can appear relatively modest. As a litigant, one's exposure is therefore uncertain. We normally suggest estimating the same costs for exposure to the other as one budget's for one's own side's case.
In judicial review work, one is often claiming against a decision-making authority, but another party for example, a developer who has benefited from the decision wishes to make representations in court to help the authority defend its decision.
Such a party is usually called an "interested party" or a "second respondent". They are often very well funded and employ expensive solicitors and barristers. Fortunately, however, they are not normally entitled to their costs from a losing party, although sometimes they will be awarded the costs of, for example, producing some evidence that has helped the court.
Obviously the issue of possible exposure to other parties' costs is something that needs careful consideration, though normally it is not a problem. The point was clarified in one of our cases, where the Court of Appeal overturned a High Court ruling awarding a second set of costs against our client - see the Berkeley costs judgment for more details. It considers time limits for the appeal, obtaining permission to appeal, challenging a decision refusing permission to appeal, where the appeal should be made, the documents required to commence an appeal.
It also covers the effect of an appeal. For further information, see Practice Note: Detailed assessment—appeals. For guidance, see Practice Note: Appeals—costs recovery.
