Pleadings filed electronically (soft copies) must also be filed physically through hard copies.
Brief facts
The 1st respondent filed the instant application in which it sought for the notice of appeal to be struck out for failure to file an appeal within 30 days of the delivery of the Judgment.
The application was on the grounds that the appellant lodged a soft copy notice of appeal in the Judiciarys online portal in time but did not file or serve the hard copies in time. Subsequently the 1st respondent sought for the notice of appeal and petition of appeal filed by the appellant to be struck out.
Issues
Whether filing of a soft copy of an appeal on the courts online registry and not filing the hard copies (physical copies) was enough grounds to have such an appeal struck out.
Relevant provisions of the law
Supreme Court Rules, 2020 Rule 12
12. Filing of documents
(1) Pleadings and any other document filed in the Court shall be in both printed and electronic form.
(2) A party filing any document shall ensure consistency in the printed and the electronic formats.
(3) In case of any inconsistency between the hard copy and soft copy, the hard copy shall prevail.
(4) Where a document is lodged in a sub-registry, the deputy registrar receiving the same shall transmit it to the Registry.
Held
- The appellant filed a notice of appeal at the Court of Appeal 4 days after the Court of Appeal Judgment. The appellant filed his petition of appeal on the Supreme Court's online platform on the last day for doing so. Rule 12 of the Supreme Court Rules provided that the printed copy of any pleading, while matching the electronic copy, was to be filed simultaneously with the latter. The rule remained the operative rule in the Supreme Court.
- Though the appellant sat on the printed copy for more than one month, once the appellant was directed to file the same, he did so within 2 days and thereafter served the respondents. While the conduct of the appellant in not filing the printed copy timeously had not been explained, the circumstances as outlined above would not lead to any adverse orders against him and although his conduct was nonetheless to be deprecated, the court would focus on the substantive appeal.
