AI Generated Summary

This case involves a ruling on an application by the plaintiff for an extension of time to cross-appeal a judgment. The court found that the plaintiff's application, brought under rule 9 of the Court of Appeal Rules, 1997 (C.I. 19), was improper and incompetent. The judge clarified that the correct procedure for cross-appeals is outlined in rule 15 of C.I. 19, which requires respondents to give written notice of intention to vary the decision within one month after service of the notice of appeal. The court emphasized that rule 15 does not provide for extensions of time to comply with its requirements. The judge also noted that the plaintiff did not attempt to comply with Form 7 as required by rule 15. Consequently, the court dismissed the plaintiff's application for lacking merit, highlighting the importance of following proper procedural rules in filing cross-appeals.
