Comprehensive Supreme Court of Appeal Services
Our team’s depth of experience with the Supreme Court of Appeal sets us apart. We understand not only the rules, but also how judges apply them in practice.
1. Petitions & Applications for Leave to Appeal
We prepare, review, and file petitions and leave to appeal applications that clearly articulate grounds of appeal and align with the SCA’s procedural expectations. Our focus is clarity, persuasiveness, and compliance with all deadlines.
2. Applications for Special Leave to Appeal
Where ordinary leave is unavailable or where jurisdictional questions arise, we draft and manage applications for Special Leave to Appeal, ensuring that your submissions meet constitutional and procedural thresholds.
3. Reconsideration Applications under Section 17(2)(f)
Section 17(2)(f) reconsideration applications require meticulous argument and precise drafting. Our team assists with the formulation of grounds, supporting affidavits, and supplementary documentation to maximise the prospects of reconsideration.
4. Full Appeals to the SCA
We provide end-to-end support for civil and constitutional appeals, from strategy and briefing to final argument preparation. Our team coordinates record compilation, legal research, and heads of argument, ensuring cohesion and professional rigour.
5. Records of Appeal
A well-structured appeal record is critical to success. We take responsibility for the curation, indexing, and certification of appeal records in accordance with the Rules Regulating the Conduct of the Proceedings of the Supreme Court of Appeal. Our process eliminates unnecessary material and highlights only what the Court needs to determine the appeal.
6. Amicus Curiae Applications
For matters of public importance or where third-party perspectives are vital, we prepare and manage amicus curiae applications. We support both applicants and prospective amici in drafting submissions that are legally sound and procedurally compliant.
7. Taxations in the Supreme Court of Appeal
Our services extend to taxation proceedings, where detailed knowledge of appellate costs practice is essential. We assist with bill preparation, response drafting, and representation before taxing masters where required.
