SMITH, J.<o:p></o:p>

</div><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>JUDGMENT OF SMITH J.<o:p></o:p>This is
an application for leave to appeal against a decision of the Land Court
dismissing an appeal from a local court. Counsel for the appellant submitted
that the time limit within which to apply for special leave to appeal from the
Land Court to the Court of Appeal was three months. He cited the cases of Lotsu
v. Kudjey (13 W.A.C.A. 239) and Adama v. Lamley (unreported). I have considered
these cases but in my view they are not applicable in the present issue.
Counsel also remarked that there had been conflicting rulings given on this question
by other judges in this country. I wish it had been possible for counsel to
have cited these varying decisions. As I read the Court of Appeal Ordinance,
1957, section 4 and the Supreme Court (Court of Appeal) Rules 1957, section
10(1) and (2), the period within which an application must be made for special
leave to appeal from the decision of the Land Court affirming the judgment of
the local trial court is fourteen days. In my opinion the present application
is out of time and is dismissed.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>
