Holding

The respondents' notice of appeal is deemed withdrawn, and the applicants are granted the orders sought.

Facts

The respondents failed to file the record of appeal within the prescribed time after the trial court delivered its judgment. The trial court's proceedings were available since February 2021.

Issues

  1. Whether the respondents' notice of appeal should be deemed withdrawn
  2. Whether the respondents' failure to file the record of appeal justifies the withdrawal of the notice of appeal

Reasoning

The respondents have not filed the record of appeal since the judgment was delivered in December 2019, and the trial court's proceedings have been available since February 2021. Given the respondents' failure to file the record of appeal for more than three years, the notice of appeal is deemed withdrawn.

Outcome

The respondents' notice of appeal is deemed withdrawn.

Orders

  • The respondents shall bear the costs of the said application.
