s 49B Summary dismissal of certain matters
49B.—(1) A District Judge sitting in a District Court may, on his or her own motion, summarily dismiss any appeal made against a decision of the registrar relating to civil proceedings, if the District Judge is satisfied of any of the following:(a) every issue in the appeal has already been decided by a District Court or a higher court in an earlier matter in which the appellant was involved, and the appeal therefore has no merit; (b) such conditions as may be prescribed by the Rules of Court are met. (2) Before summarily dismissing any appeal under subsection (1), a District Judge sitting in a District Court must —(a) give the appellant a reasonable opportunity to show cause why the appeal should not be summarily dismissed; and (b) consider any representations of the appellant. (3) In this section, “appeal” includes part of an appeal.[Act 25 of 2021 wef 01/04/2022]
