AMENDMENT TO THE HIGH COURT RULES
Order 69A rule 11
The purpose of this amendment to the Rules of Court is to enable solicitors as well as barristers to present an application for special leave to appeal to the Court and to make provision for giving leave, in exceptional circumstances, to a person other than a barrister or solicitor to present such an application. The rule as it stood prior to this amendment did not make provision for the presentation of a special leave application by a person other than a barrister.
