Holding

The application is dismissed with costs to the respondent.

Facts

The applicant was the plaintiff in the proceedings before the Environment and Land Court, and sought an order that he and the respondent were the registered proprietors of a property. The trial court dismissed the applicant's claim. The applicant lodged a notice of appeal and requested certified copies of the proceedings, but the appeal was not filed within sixty days as required by the Rules.

Issues

  1. Whether the applicant's application for extension of time to lodge and serve the Memorandum of Appeal and Record of Appeal is granted.
  2. Whether the applicant's notice of appeal was filed within the required time frame as per the Rules.

Reasoning

The applicant did not file his appeal within sixty days as required by the Rules, and the notice of appeal is deemed withdrawn. The applicant's application for extension of time is without merit.

Outcome
