Registrar of the Court of Appeal of New Zealand such portion of the proceedings (or a copy thereof, certified as correct under his hand and the seal of the Court) as the Judge shall deem requisite to enable the said Court of Appeal of New Zealand to settle the said question or questions of law upon which the appeal is made, and shall attach thereto a sealed copy of the said notice of appeal, and a minute, signed by the Judge, certifying to the said Court of Appeal of New Zealand the decision he had made, the legality of which is disputed.
- Upon the return of the said special case (or of said proceedings and minute, as the case may be) from the said Court of Appeal of New Zealand, with its decision, or a minute thereof, according to the practice of that Court, the said decision of the said Court of Appeal of New Zealand shall take the place of the decision appealed from in so far as the same is varied or overruled by it, and thereupon the Validation Court shall carry out the directions given by the said Court of Appeal of New Zealand by causing such proceedings to be taken as shall be necessary to correct the error in law that had been committed, and otherwise give effect to the decision of the said Court of Appeal.
Costs of Appeal and Bonds for Damages.
-
Every appellant at the time of filing his notice of appeal, or within such extended time as the Judge may allow, shall give to the Registrar a bond, signed by himself and by such sureties as the Registrar shall deem sufficient, conditioned to pay to each respondent in such appeal such costs as may be allowed to him by the Court of Appeal of New Zealand.
-
If the appeal is from an order for payment of money, the appellant shall give the Registrar as aforesaid a bond, signed by him and by such sureties as the Registrar shall deem sufficient, conditioned to pay such money to the person or persons to whom it is made payable.
-
If the appeal is from an order requiring any party to do or abstain from doing any act, matter, or thing, the appellant shall give to the Registrar as aforesaid a bond, signed by him and by such sureties as the Registrar shall deem sufficient, conditioned for the payment of such damages as may arise by reason of proceedings on the said order being stayed pending the decision of the said appeal.
-
Unless the prescribed bond be lodged with the Registrar within ten days after the filing of said notice of appeal, or within such extended time as the Judge may allow, the said appeal shall be deemed abandoned, unless the Judge shall otherwise direct.
The Judge may nevertheless order that any party may have leave to appeal without giving any bond to the Registrar, or may impose other terms than those aforesaid in the bond or bonds to be given, as he shall think just under the circumstances.
-
When the matter of the said appeal is decided, the Registrar, at the cost of the party applying, shall assign his interest in the said bond or bonds to such person or persons as the Judge shall by order direct, and such assignee shall be entitled to sue and recover upon such bond or bonds according to the tenor and effect thereof.
-
Any person required by these rules to give security to the Registrar by bond may appeal from his decision on any point to the Judge in Chambers.
-
If any surety on a bond becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or is discharged from his liabilities by deed of arrangement or otherwise, the Judge may order proceedings in the appeal to be stayed until the person who has given such surety shall have found a new surety and a new bond shall have been given to the satisfaction of the Registrar.
