Guernsey Judgment 13/2006 - De Carteret v Mann and Mann

View printable version

Civil appeal from the Court of the Seneschal of Sark - direction by the Seneschal that any notice of appeal must be lodged within 28 days - notice lodged one day later - appeal period declared as 40 days (see Le Mesurier v. de Carteret Cour des Judgements et Records 2nd July, 1700) - Seneschal did not give parties an opportunity to be heard before fixing the 28 day period - appropriate to extend the time period, insofar as that was necessary - service of the notice of appeal by fax held to be sufficient on this occasion.
