Failure to file skeletons or delayed record alone did not justify dismissal; appellant must file skeletons 14 days after filing notice of appeal.
Practice Direction No.1 of 2010 – paragraph 1(a)(i): appellant must file skeleton arguments within 14 days of filing the notice of appeal; Supreme Court of Appeal Rules – Order 3 (appeal brought by filing notice of appeal; record filing and registry duties); preparation of record – appellant responsible subject to High Court supervision and registrar duties; dismissal for want of prosecution – principles (inordinate/inexcusable delay, prejudice, contumelious default); delay shared among parties and registry – dismissal refused; timetable and costs ordered.
