Leapfrog Appeal

A leapfrog appeal is an appeal that is heard by a higher appellate court than would usually do so. For appeals that would ordinarily take place in the County Court or High Court, the destination of a leapfrog appeal is the Court of Appeal. For appeals that would ordinarily be heard by the Court of Appeal, the destination of a leapfrog appeal is the Supreme Court (UKSC).
