What can an appellant do since the granting of an extension of time to appeal?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Houssameddine, 2011 ONCJ 473 (CanLII):
Indeed, the governing principle expressed in the regulations governing appeals is that the rules shall be construed liberally to obtain as expeditious a conclusion of every proceeding as is consistent with a just determination of the proceeding: see Ontario v. Pomehichuk, 2009 ONCJ 218. To this end, I note that it is not suggested that there is anything further the applicant could have done since the granting of the extension order in May, 2011, to date, apart from re-filing its notice of appeal document, setting out the same grounds of appeal as beforehand. His conduct has in no way delayed the appeal process. To the contrary, he ordered the trial transcripts the day after the extension of time to appeal was granted; nothing else can be done in the meantime.
