Sintesi Legislator

Generato dall'IA

The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's criminal appeal after noting the counsel's withdrawal to facilitate the conclusion of a related criminal case. The appellant, Charalambous, sought to abandon the appeal to allow proceedings in Case No. 7908/64 to finish, while the respondent, the Municipality of Nicosia, did not oppose this strategic move. The court ruled that abandoning the appeal was the best course of action and declined to make a costs order, though it warned against such piecemeal appeals in future litigation.

APPELLATE JURISDICTION

Nedi Charalambous,

Appellant,

v.

The Municipality of Nicosia,

Respondent.

(Criminal Appeal No.2830).

Practice - Criminal Appeals - Appeals from rulings or decisions in criminal trials - Requirements - Observations in Penelopi Christofidou v. Elli Nemitsas (unreported) referred to.

Appeals - Criminal Appeals - Practice - Requirements for appeals from rulings or decisions in criminal trials - See under "Practice" above.

Lellos Demetriades, for the Appellant.

K. Michaelides, for the Respondent.

JUDGMENT

The Judgment of the Court was delivered by:-

VASSILIADES, AG. P.: We have not fully heard counsel in the present appeal; but from what we have heard so far from both sides, we may say that in our opinion the course adopted by Mr. Demetriades for the appellant, to withdraw this appeal at this stage, in order to enable the proceedings in criminal Case No. 7908/64 to be carried to a conclusion, is the best course in the circumstances. We would only add that what was said regarding appeals from rulings or decisions made in the course of civil or criminal trials in Penelopi Christofidou v. Elli Nemitsas (Civil Appeal No.4418, decided on 11.6.63; unreported) should be borne in mind by

litigants intending to take such a course. In the circumstances of [*1036] this case we do not propose making any order

for costs; but in different circumstances, such an order might be one of the ways of discouraging "piecemeal appeals" causing embarrassment, delay and expense in litigation, civil or criminal.

In the result, the appeal will stand abandoned and dismissed with no order as to costs.

Appeal abandoned, dismissed.

No order as to costs.
