Maka v Malaita Customary Land Appeal Court, SICOA-CAC 6 of 2020 (Appeal from HCSI-CC 261 of 2012) (4 November 2022)

dismissal of appeal – whether single judge has power to dismiss appeal – deciding not to grant leave to appeal is not determining an appeal – until leave to appeal and notice of appeal is filed there is no appeal on foot – counsel submission quite simply wrong – counsel submission borders on incompetence or deliberate misrepresentation – counsel to desist in filing application to dismiss appeals to be heard by a single judge who lacks power to hear and determine such a matter
