any time limit set by the Rules (unless to do so would be contrary to any provision of statute). An application for an extension of time may be made after the time limit has expired.<\/p>\n<p>Where a document is presented for lodgment late, the Registrar may accept the document for lodgment with the written consent of every other party concerned.<\/p>\n<p>Where a document (other than a notice of appeal or notice of expedited appeal) is presented for lodgment late, the Registrar may accept the document for lodgment without prejudice to the right of any party concerned to object to the late lodgment.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Service\"><\/span>Service<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A document for use in proceedings in the Court of Appeal may be served by any of the following methods-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>personal service,<\/li>\n<li>registered post,<\/li>\n<li>electronic means where the person to be served has consented to service by such means or a statutory practice direction so permits and<\/li>\n<li>save in the case of a notice of appeal, any other method permitted by Order 121 (and where any such method is used, the provisions of Order 121 apply).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Where, having made such inquiries, if any, as he considers appropriate, the Registrar is not satisfied as to the sufficiency of the service effected in any case, the Registrar may direct service by another method or may direct the giving of notice of the application or appeal by another means.<\/p>\n<p>An affidavit of service shall include details of the persons served, the method of service used and shall state the date on which the document was served personally, posted, delivered to the document exchange or sent electronically, as the case may be.<\/p>\n<p>Service on a party by a means which has been agreed by or among parties in the proceedings in the court below or which has been directed by the court below is, until the contrary is shown, deemed to be sufficient service.<\/p>\n<p>Unless otherwise provided in statute or this Order, where the Registrar is required to notify any person of a matter, the notification may be in such form and may be given in such manner as the Registrar considers appropriate.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lodgment_of_documents\"><\/span>Lodgment of documents<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Subject to the provisions of this Order, a document may be lodged in the Office by any of the following methods-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>any method permitted by Order 117A (and where any such method is used, the provisions of Order 117A apply);<\/li>\n<li>where permitted by a statutory practice direction, by electronic means in accordance with the relevant statutory practice direction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Directions_hearing\"><\/span>Directions hearing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Unless otherwise directed, the appellant shall lodge in the Office not later than four days before the date fixed for the directions hearing an indexed and paginated directions booklet for the use of the Court of Appeal, comprising copies of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the judgment and\/or order appealed from;<\/li>\n<li>the notice of expedited appeal, or notice of appeal, as the case may be;<\/li>\n<li>every respondent\u2019s notice delivered, and<\/li>\n<li>any other document in the appeal to which any party proposes to refer at the directions hearing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The directions hearing shall be attended by the solicitor responsible for the conduct of the appeal and by a counsel instructed in the appeal, if such be the case.
