Case summary

The Supreme Court observed that there was no evidence to show that the respondent sought and obtained direction from court not to effect service of the notice of appeal on the co-defendants on the ground that they took no part in the proceedings in the Court of Appeal. It was held that in the absence of such direction, failure to serve copies of the notice of appeal on all the co. defendants amounted to a violation of Rule 74(1) of the Supreme Court Rules which is mandatory. Accordingly court struck out the notice of appeal on that basis.
