Holding and result

The court held that Rule 82 presupposes the existence of a valid notice of appeal before an application to lodge an appeal out of time can be considered. In this case, the applicant's original notice of appeal had been struck out, and no valid notice was in existence at the time of the application. The court found that, in the absence of a subsisting notice of appeal, the application was incompetent. The court further noted that the intention of counsel to file a fresh notice was not reflected in the documents before the court, and the court is bound to proceed on the basis of the documents actually filed. Accordingly, the application was struck out as incompetent.

Questions and positions

Legal issues

Party arguments

Applicant
Counsel for the applicant submitted that he intended to seek leave to lodge a fresh notice of appeal after the earlier one had been struck out, arguing that the application should be allowed to proceed.
Respondent
Counsel for the 1st respondent raised a preliminary objection, arguing that the application is incompetent because the notice of appeal previously lodged was struck out, leaving no notice of appeal to support the application. Counsel distinguished the cited authority and maintained that the application could not stand.

05

Court’s reasoning

  1. 01

    Rule 82 of the Court of Appeal Rules

    A valid notice of appeal must exist before an application for extension of time to lodge an appeal can be entertained.

  2. 02

    Court's inherent procedural rules and practice

    The court is bound by the documents filed and cannot rely on the intentions of counsel not reflected in the filed documents.

06

Ratio, limits and disposition

Ratio decidendi

The court held that Rule 82 presupposes the existence of a valid notice of appeal before an application to lodge an appeal out of time can be considered. In this case, the applicant's original notice of appeal had been struck out, and no valid notice was in existence at the time of the application. The court found that, in the absence of a subsisting notice of appeal, the application was incompetent. The court further noted that the intention of counsel to file a fresh notice was not reflected in the documents before the court, and the court is bound to proceed on the basis of the documents actually filed. Accordingly, the application was struck out as incompetent.

Obiter and limits

  • The court is bound by the documents filed in court, not by the intentions of counsel.
  • A failure of meeting of the minds between counsel and the drafter of the notice of motion cannot cure procedural defects.

Court disposition

application struck out as incompetent

  • The application is struck out as incompetent.
  • Costs awarded to the respondents.
