All such appeals may be brought by notice of motion which shall be served on the party in whose favour the relevant order was granted by the Master. In the case of a relevant order under the Maintenance Regulation, the notice of motion shall also be served on the Central Authority, but the Central Authority shall not be required to participate in the appeal proceedings. The High Court shall have power to stay the proceedings, on such terms as it sees fit, if an ordinary appeal has been brought against the judgment which is sought to be enforced in the Member State of the European Union (other than the State) or the Contracting State of the 1968 Convention or Contracting State of the Lugano Convention (other than the State) in which that judgment was given; or if the time for such an appeal has not yet expired, the High Court may specify the time within which such an appeal is to be lodged in the courts of that Member State of the European Union or that Contracting State of the 1968 Convention or Contracting State of the Lugano Convention (as the case may be).

(4) In the case of enforcement proceedings under Title III of the Lugano Convention, if the party against whom enforcement is sought is domiciled in a Contracting State of the 1968 Convention or Contracting State of the Lugano Convention other than the State the time for appealing shall be two months and shall run from the date of service, either on him personally or at his residence. | ||
(5) In the case of proceedings under Section 2 of Chapter IV of the Maintenance Regulation, if the party against whom enforcement is sought is habitually resident in a Member State of the European Union other than the State, the time for appealing shall be 45 days and shall run from the date of service, either on him personally or at his residence. | ||
14. If the application for enforcement of the judgment or recognition and enforcement of the decision is refused, the applicant may appeal to the High Court within five weeks from the perfection of the order of the Master. The appeal shall be brought by notice of motion grounded upon an affidavit establishing that the party against whom enforcement is sought has been notified of the appeal and the date specified for the hearing of the appeal in sufficient time to enable him to arrange for his defence or, alternatively, that all necessary steps have been taken to this end. | ||
15. (1) Execution shall not issue on a judgment or decision in respect of which a relevant order has been made under the 1968 Convention, the Lugano Convention or, as the case may be, the Maintenance Regulation, until after the expiration of the period specified in accordance with the provision of rule 13 applicable to the proceedings concerned, or if that period has been extended by the Court, until after the expiration of any such extended period. | ||
(2) If an appeal is made to the High Court under rule 13, execution of a judgment or decision in respect of which a relevant order has been made under the 1968 Convention the Lugano Convention or, as the case may be, the Maintenance Regulation, shall not issue until after such appeal (including any further appeal) is determined. | ||
(3) Any party wishing to issue execution on a judgment or decision in respect of which a relevant order has been made must produce to the appropriate officer an affidavit of service of the relevant order concerned granting leave to enforce a judgment or decision and of any order made in the jurisdiction in relation to the judgment or decision. | ||
16. (1) The following provisions of this rule shall apply to appeals to the Court of Appeal under: | ||
(a) Article 34 of Regulation No. 2201/2003, or | ||
(b) Article 41 of the 1968 Convention, or | ||
(c) Article 44 of the Lugano Convention, or | ||
(d) Article 33 of the Maintenance Regulation | ||
from a decision of the High Court granting or refusing recognition or enforcement (as the case may be) of a judgment or decision. | ||
(2) Notwithstanding Order 86A, rules 9 and 13, every such appeal shall be lodged within five weeks from the date of perfection of the order of the High Court. | ||
(3) It shall be the duty of the Registrar of the Court of Appeal to apply to the appropriate Registrar of the High Court for a signed copy of the note made by the High Court Judge of any question of law raised before him and of the facts and evidence relating thereto and of his decision thereon and on the question or matters submitted to him. Such copies shall be received for the use of the Court of Appeal and shall be used and received at the hearing of the appeal. The Registrar of the Court of Appeal shall further apply to such appropriate High Court Registrar for the transmission to him for the use of the Court of Appeal of a file of all documents and papers relating to the case.

(c) for the recognition or enforcement of a court settlement or authentic instrument referred to in Article 48 of the Maintenance Regulation. | ||
19.
