• Court of Appeal Rules

• Notice of Appeal – what should be the contents of notice of appeal in criminal cases?

It is now settled law that under Rule 61(2), it is a mandatory requirement for the notice of appeal to state the nature of the conviction sentence, order or finding of the High court against which is desired to appeal.  Failure to do so renders the purported appeal incompetent.
