Holding

The application for additional evidence is dismissed with costs to the 3rd respondent. The notice of appeal is deemed properly filed, and the application for rectification of the decree is granted.

Facts

The appellant/applicant sought to rectify a decree dated 4th March 2002 and issued on 22nd July 2002, and deemed the notice of appeal properly filed. He also sought to take additional evidence.

Issues

  2. Whether additional evidence should be taken.
  3. Whether the decree should be rectified to conform with a ruling of PJ Ransley dated 14th March 2012.

Reasoning

The court found the application for additional evidence to be scandalous, frivolous, and vexatious. The evidence sought was not credible and would not influence the outcome of the appeal.
