“Where a party sought permission to appeal from a judge and permission was granted on terms, that party had no right to appeal against those terms by reason of section 54(4) of the Access to Justice Act 1999, unless the party concerned was not present at the permission hearing at which the terms were imposed. The proper course was either to accept the terms, or to treat them as a refusal of permission and to make a fresh application under section 54(4) to the appropriate appeal court for permission.”
