Appeal from directions made by Senior Deputy Registrar
where appellant self-represented
Quick Take
1A writ of mandamus cannot be obtained by interlocutory application in appeal proceedings where the very question whether mandamus lies is the subject of the substantive appeal.
2Leave is required for any subpoena issued in appeal proceedings under Court Procedures Rules r 6601(2)(d), and production orders will not be made where the documents sought go beyond the limited issues determined by the primary judge and hence the limited scope of the appeal.
3Where an appellant is self-represented and unable to comply with standard appeal preparation requirements, the court may direct the respondent to prepare the appeal books and dispense with practice direction compliance to facilitate the efficient conduct of the appeal.
