English term or phrase: appeal out of time
A letter from solicitors

With regards to your Appeal against your conviction, as advised your appeal is now out of time. Therefore, you will now need to instruct Counsel to advise on the merits of an appeal and your grounds for appeal will have to be prepared and lodged with the Court Of Appeal.



The customer claims there is no deadline / time limit for filing the appeal, so that he can file it any time he wants to.

Is this the way "out of time" should be understood in this context?

Thank you in advance for your clarifications

beyond the appropriate time


Explanation:
Perhaps the meaning is the same but it's not tied to a deadline, just occurs or manifests itself outside or beyond the appropriate or desirable time.

disagree  AllegroTrans: 'Appropriate' and 'desirable' don't make sense and are much too vague: there is a fixed deadline for lodging an appeal PLUS in many cases the right to make an application for leave to appeal out of time

The deadline for appeal has passed


Explanation:
There is always a deadline by which an appeal must be made. If the deadline has passed you must make a new application for leave to appeal. The letter from the solicitors mentions first asking counsel for advice on 'the merits of an appeal', which seems to suggest that they are doubtful about the merits.

date for automatic granting of leave to appeal has passed


Explanation:
'date for automatic granting of leave to appeal has passed'

Now that the date for an automatic granting of a leave to appeal has passed, only a discretionary leave to appeal can be applied for

disagree  AllegroTrans: No, it means the time limit for an appeal has expired; seeking leave to appeal out of time is the next option. There is no "automatic" granting of this

Explanation:
There is a bit of a miswritten text here.

When it says " time limit for an appeal has expired" it doesn't really mean "appeal," it means review by the court that made the decision (i.e. not an appeal to a higher court).
Could be a "Petition for Review" to the court of first instance. Usually it is referred to as a "motion for reconsideration" (sometimes a motion for a new trial).

Strickly speaking, its not an appeal; but in layman's langauge they may refer to it as an appeal; but when it is the same judge considering it, then it is not an "appeal"

I don't know why it says "three star hotel" - the suggested answer is supposed to be "time limit for filing a motion for reconsideration" has expired

disagree  AllegroTrans: Charles, you are wrong on this; the text seems to be from UK and an appeal against conviction is always a formal appeal and never a motion/application for reconsideration. Please see https://www.gov.uk/appeal-against-sentence-conviction

Reference: What is an out of time appeal hearing?

Reference information:
You have thirty days from the date of your sentence (or if you filed a motion for new trial, 30 days from the date of the order denying the motion for new trial) to file a notice of appeal. If the notice was not filed in time, it is possible to file a request to the court asking permission to file an out of time appeal. There are certain instances were the court will grant an appellant extra time to file the appeal. The person asking for the out of time appeal must show that he or she meets the requirements for an out of time appeal. A hearing for an out of time appeal would be the opportunity to show the judge that you are entitled to an out of time appeal. In general, to get one you have to show that the failure to file an appeal was not due to your neglect (one common example is when a defendant requests court appointed appellate counsel and for some reason there is a delay past thrity days to get counsel appointed). If you don't have an attorney, you would be in better a position if you had one to file and argue this motion. Good luck.

so there is a time limit.

You can still try to appeal AFTER the time limit, but it becomes more difficult to do it.
