Legislator-Zusammenfassung

KI-generiert

The court granted an application for an extension of time to file a criminal appeal because the appellant could not prepare full grounds without access to the judgment and record. The appellant filed a provisional notice within the statutory limit, and the respondent's counsel raised no objections to this procedural delay. Consequently, the court permitted the filing of a complete appeal within seven days and confirmed the right to amend grounds before the hearing.

RULING

The following ruling was delivered by: -

TRIANTAFYLLIDES, P.: In this case counsel for [*1169] appellants did not file in time the notice of appeal in the District Court of Limassol, which was the trial Court, because there were not yet available copies of the judgment and of the record of proceedings and, in the circumstances, she could not prepare a notice of appeal containing in full all the grounds relied on; she applied, instead, within the time allowed for filing an appeal, for an extension of such time and she attached to her application a provisional notice of appeal in general terms,

In a situation such as the present one, and as, also, there is no objection on the part of counsel for the respondents, we have found no difficulty in granting an extension enabling the appellants to file a notice of appeal in the District Court of Limassol within seven days from today.

We would like to point out that under rule 24 of the Criminal Procedure Rules it is always possible for an appellant to amend the grounds stated in the notice of appeal, before the date of the hearing, by giving notice to that effect to the Chief Registrar and delivering a copy thereof to the respondent; so there was nothing to prevent counsel for the appellants from filing within time in the Limassol District Court a notice of appeal framed in general terms and amending it later on receipt of copies of the judgment and of the record of proceedings.

Application granted.
