Facts
The reference was from the ruling of the Court of Appeal by a single judge granting the respondent an application to strike out notice of appeal by the applicants for failure to institute the appeal within 60 days after being supplied with the copy of proceedings. The applicants argued that their failure to institute the appeal in time was due to lack of funds and ignorance regarding the steps to be taken in such circumstances.
Held:
(i) Lack of funds to institute an appeal within sixty days as required by the A rules is an irrelevant reason in an application to strike out a notice of appeal.
Case Information
Reference dismissed.
