The Judge President of the Labour Appeal Court issued the following practice direction on 27 February 1997.

1          Legal practitioners are required to robe when appearing in the Labour Appeal Court. In addition, the dress code for attorneys is that male practitioners must wear a dark suit, a white shirt and a tie, and female practitioners must wear a dark outfit. Blouses must be white.

2          The following directions apply to heads of argument:

            2.1            The first reference to a factual allegation must contain a page and paragraph or line reference to the record or bundle of documents.

            2.2            The first reference to a text book must specify the author, title, edition and page number (in that order). Example: Smith Labour Law 2 ed at 44.

            2.3            The first reference to a reported case must contain the full name of the case, the year, volume, commencement page, division of the court, and page and margin reference to which specific reference is made.
