It's pretty standard stuff for counsel to ask for permission to appeal when judgment is handed down, simply to protect their client's interests, and more often than not the judge of first instance will refuse permission if he or she doesn't see that there is a point of law for the Court of Appeal to provide commentary on. To then apply directly to the Court of Appeal is essentially a restoration of that request, albeit it that it goes before a Lord of Appeal instead of the judge of first instance. But the difference in financial terms is that the latter requires more paperwork and representation, and therefore more legal fees. It will be down to Archway to decide if they want to spend further and thereafter the advice they get as to the merits of an appeal.

Subject to permission, most parties give up at the Court of Appeal stage if they aren't successful. But, comparatively speaking, going to the Court of Appeal is relatively inexpensive, and in a case like this will likely only involve a day's hearing, so a lot of losing parties will give it a shot.

I think the club have shot their load too early with their press statement today. Probably should've waited until the time for applying for permission has passed and then see where the proceedings stand.

Could Archway have a financial backer?
