Substantial question of law: High Court may admit appeals from the tribunal and hear only the formulated legal issue.

Appeals to the High Court from the Appellate Tribunal require the High Court's satisfaction that a substantial question of law is involved; such appeals are subject to a prescribed filing period with possible extension for sufficient cause. The High Court frames the substantial question, ordinarily confines the hearing to that question while permitting respondents to challenge its existence, may decide additional substantial questions for recorded reasons, and shall give reasons and may award costs. Appeals are heard by a Bench of at least two judges and decided by majority.
