(1) Parts 25 to 27 so far as relevant apply to the case management of an appeal as they do to case management of a trial.
(2) The Chief Justice may designate a single judge of the court, a judge, master or the Chief Registrar to case manage an appeal.
(3) The person designated under paragraph (2) may —
(a) give written directions which may include a direction that a date for hearing of the appeal be fixed or that a case management conference be held; or
(b) hold a case management conference.
(4) Directions, whether or not given at a case management conference, must include directions fixing a date for the hearing of the appeal or directions fixing a date by which a listing questionnaire must be sent to all parties and may include directions —
(a) as to the length of time to be allocated to the hearing of the appeal;
(b) that the parties agree a core bundle for use at the appeal;
(c) that the parties agree and file a statement of issues for the appeal;
(d) that the parties agree and file a statement summarising the facts found at the trial; and
(e) as to the filing of written briefs and as to the length of time allowed to each party for oral argument; or
(f) that the appeal be considered solely on written briefs without oral argument and as to the time by which such briefs are to be filed.
(5) If directions are given that a listing questionnaire be sent to all parties, rules 27.9 and 27.10 apply as if the references to the trial were references to the hearing of the appeal.
(6) If the management of an appeal has been referred to a single judge of the court under paragraph (2) that judge must wherever practicable be a member of the court hearing the appeal.
(7) The Chief Justice may, by practice direction, set out those factors to which the court must have regard when considering the application of this rule.
