APPELLATE JURISDICTION ACT 1876 - SECT 8

Hearing and determination of appeals during prorogation of Parliament.

8. For preventing delay in the administration of justice, the House of Lords
may sit and act for the purpose of hearing and determining appeals and also
for the purpose of the Lords of Appeal in Ordinary taking their seats and the
oaths, during any prorogation of Parliament, at such time and in such manner
as may be appointed by order of the House of Lords made during the preceding
session of Parliament; and all orders and proceedings of the said House in
relation to appeals and matters connected therewith during such prorogation,
shall be as valid as if Parliament had been then sitting, but no business
other than the hearing and determination of appeals and the matters connected
therewith, and Lords of Appeal in Ordinary taking their seats and the oaths as
aforesaid, shall be transacted by such House during such prorogation.
