APPEALS
3. (1) Any person who desires to appeal to the High Court from a decision of the
Registrar of Designs in any matter in which a right of appeal is given under the Act shall,
within three months after the date of the decision, file with the registrar of the High Court a
notice in Form D.T. No. 1.
Entry of appeal
(2) A notice of appeal shall state the nature of the decision appealed against and
whether the appeal is from the whole or part only and, if so, what part of the decision, and
shall be accompanied by a statement in writing of the appellant's grounds of appeal.
(3) The appellant shall send a copy of the notice of appeal to the Registrar of
Designs and to any person or persons who appeared or gave notice of opposition in the
proceedings before the said Registrar.
(4) The appellant shall be responsible for the preparation of the record which shall
be certified by the Registrar of Designs as correct in terms of sub-rule (7).
(5) The Registrar of Designs as well as the parties or their legal practitioners shall
endeavour to exclude from the record all documents (more particularly such as are purely
formal) that are not relevant to the subject-matter of the appeal, and generally to reduce
the bulk of the record as far as practicable, and to avoid the production of unnecessary
exhibits, taking special care to avoid the duplication of documents and the unnecessary
repetition of headings, and furnish merely the formal particulars of documents; but the
documents omitted to be copied shall be enumerated in a list to be placed after the index
or at the end of the record.
(6) The Registrar of Designs, after consultation with the registrar of the High Court
shall direct the number of copies of the record to be prepared, having regard to whether or
not one or more assessors are likely to sit upon the hearing of the appeal.
(7) After the completion of the preparation of the record, the Registrar of Designs
shall certify the record to be correct and forward it to the registrar of the High Court
together with such copies thereof as he has directed to be prepared in terms of sub-rule
(6).
4. (1) Any application for an extension of time in which to appeal shall be in Form
D.T. No. 2 and shall state briefly the grounds upon which the application is based and,
where facts are alleged, such facts shall be verified by affidavit.
