Capron v.The Crown (CR-AP 19 of 2002) [2003] TCACA 2 (21 August 2003)
The court ruled statutory appeal time limits are mandatory and cannot be judicially extended; the appellant’s late appeal was dismissed.
Criminal procedure – appeals from Magistrate’s Court – statutory time limit for notice of appeal (s.163) is a condition precedent – absence of statutory provision for extension means courts have no jurisdiction to extend time. Statutory construction – mandatory time limits – compliance required; no inherent judicial power to alter statutory deadlines. Magistrate’s duty – s.166 obligation to state right of appeal; contemporaneous notes serve as evidence of compliance.
