Party walls - Extradition Act 2003
Summary

One of the issues which arose was whether a court could extend the time limits set out in the Extradition Act 2003 within which an appeal must be brought. It was decided that a court has no power to extend a statutory time limit within which an appeal must be brought. There is a strict limit of 14 days to appeal against a party wall award. Professionals must take care to ensure that they act with expedition.

If the final day of the 14-day period is a Bank Holiday, it is possible that an appeal made on the following day would be in time.
