Abstract This chapter details numerous issues relating to appeals. It lists the leading disciplinary cases and looks at the approach of the higher courts to appeals from professional bodies. The courts continue to place considerable reliance on the expertise of the tribunal or committee, and findings of fact are difficult to appeal. The court will reject a late appeal in the absence of exceptional circumstances, and similarly there needs to be good reason to admit fresh evidence. To bring a second appeal, an appellant must show that the appeal raises a point of principle or practice, or there is some other compelling reason for the Court of Appeal to hear it. The test for an appeal on sanction is whether the direction was appropriate and necessary in the public interest or was excessive and disproportionate.
