A judgment from clerkenwell and Shoreditch county court district judge (swan) was appealed to a circuit (?) judge in central London (Luba).

Isn’t the point of a circuit judge that they are the more senior appellate judges in a given location of the county court? How would it have “skipped” over from C&S to central London?

    Shoreditch isn't exactly a million miles away from central London

  • @alexg no, but it’s also sufficiently big and central that I’d think they’d surely have a resident circuit judge of their own.

See Practice Direction 52B:

The venue for an appeal within the County Court will be determined by the Designated Civil Judge and may be different from the appeal centre.

  • Some elaboration would be nice, for example, an explanation of who or what the “designated civil judge” is.

  • Okay, that answers “who,” but that’s not very interesting or informative compared to what the role is really about
