Clerk of the Privy Council

This Order creates a right of appeal from the St. Helena Court of Appeal established by the St. Helena Constitution Order 1988 (S.I. 1988/1842) in place of the Court of Appeal constituted by the St. Helena Court of Appeal Order 1964 (S.I. 1964/1845). It also raises the minimum value of the dispute on the appeal to one thousand pounds sterling. Transitional provision is made for appeals to be made from judgments of the St. Helena Court of Appeal given before the commencement of this Order, and for the enforcement of Privy Council Orders made before the commencement of this Order.
