    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA1007/2011

    The notice of appeal dated 5 September 2012 was struck out because it constituted an abuse of the court's process: the defendant had already appealed the same order which had been dismissed and the dismissal sealed and perfected, and only the Court of Appeal may review such a sealed/perfected order; therefore the judge in chambers lacked jurisdiction to entertain the second appeal and striking out was appropriate with indemnity costs to the plaintiff.
