The Court found that although the appeal was filed one day outside the prescribed 30-day period, such a minor delay does not warrant striking out the application, especially as the Appellant had already deposited the decretal sum as security. The Court emphasized that procedural rules should serve the ends of justice and not be applied rigidly to defeat substantive rights. The grounds of appeal were not frivolous and raised triable issues. The Respondent would not suffer prejudice as the decretal sum was secured in court. However, the Appellant had not explained the delay in obtaining typed proceedings and filing the record of appeal. The Court exercised its discretion to allow the Appellant a further 60 days to file the record of appeal, failing which the stay orders would lapse. The application to set aside the stay orders was therefore disallowed, but strict compliance with the new timeline was ordered.
