Court Fees - Appeal
This case involved whether additional fees were due. A key point was whether the appeal related to the elementary ruling or the appealed ruling.
Background
The court upheld the appealed ruling and ruled that the fees order should be amended on the grounds that the appellant had failed to pay the judicial fees when he filed a new case.
Decision
The court said that the documents of the case revealed that the appeal made by the appellant was related to the elementary ruling and had nothing to do with the appealed ruling. The court said that the appellant's defence was therefore irrelevant in this regard.
The court dismissed the appeal.
