APPELLATE JURISDICTION ACT 1876 - SECT 9

9. If on the occasion of a dissolution of Parliament Her Majesty is graciously
pleased to think that it would be expedient, with a view to prevent delay in
the administration of justice, to provide for the hearing and determination of
appeals during such dissolution, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty, by
writing under her Sign Manual, to authorise the Lords of Appeal in the name of
the House of Lords to hear and determine appeals during the dissolution of
Parliament, and for that purpose to sit in the House of Lords at such times as
may be thought expedient; and upon such authority as aforesaid being given by
Her Majesty, the Lords of Appeal may, during such dissolution, hear and
determine appeals and act in all matters in relation thereto in the same
manner in all respects as if their sittings were a continuation of the
sittings of the House of Lords, and may in the name of the House of Lords
exercise the jurisdiction of the House of Lords accordingly.
