Case summary

The court held that rule 74 is couched in mandatory terms implying that the service of the notice of appeal on the opposite party is a mandatory and an essential procedure in lodging an appeal. That though the mistake of counsel cannot be visited on the litigant, there was no evidence that there had been a change of counsel. The application would then succeed.
