Part V — THE UNION — CHAPTER IV.—THE UNION JUDICIARY

Constitutional

Summary

A High Court that issues a judgment, decree, final order, or sentence covered by certain articles of the Constitution may, on its own choice, decide whether to grant a certificate for appeal to the Supreme Court. The High Court must also do this if an affected party makes an oral request immediately after the decision is given. The court will determine as soon as possible whether a certificate of the type mentioned in those articles can be issued for that case.
