As to appeals, see s. 124 of the Act; Dan. Forms, p. 784; Seton, 1599; Morgan, 612.

The time for appealing from any order or decision in a winding up is 21 days, to be computed in the case of an affirmative order from the time when the order is signed, entered, or otherwise perfected, and in the case of a refusal, from the date of refusal. Order LVIII. r. 9. See Risca Coal Co., 4 D. F. & J. 456 ; 31 L. J. Ch. 429. The rule applies to the winding up order itself. In re National Funds Co., 4 C. Div. 305.

Where the order appealed from is in the nature of an interlocutory judgment finally settling the rights of the parties, the notice of appeal must be a 14 days' notice in other cases a 4 days' notice is sufficient. In re Stockton Iron Co., 10 C. Div. 349. Order LVIII. rr. 4, 9.

An appeal is brought by notice of motion [Form 561] which must be served within the time limited. The appeal must be entered with the proper officer of the Court of Appeal before the day named in the notice to appeal for the hearing. Order LVIII. r. 8. In re National Funds Co., ubi supra.

Where an ex parte application has been refused by the court below, it can be renewed in the Court of Appeal within 4 days from the date of refusal, or within such enlarged time as a judge of the court below or of the Appeal Court may allow. Order LVIII. r. 10.

An appeal does not operate as a stay of proceedings, except so far as the judge or the Court of Appeal order. Order LVIII. r. 16.

If, therefore, it is desired to stay proceedings, application should be made accordingly. See Dan. Forms, p. 786, and see Form 565, infra.

Where it is desired to appeal from the order of a judge at chambers, application must first be made by motion in court to the judge to discharge the order, or else special leave to appeal must be obtained from him or from the Court of Appeal. Judicature Act, 1873, s. 50. See Form 401.

The application to the judge should be made within the 21 days' limit. Dickson v. Harrison, 9 C. Div. 243. The Court of Appeal will give leave where the judge certifies that he does not wish the case to be reheard, or where the court is other

wise satisfied that the case has been deliberately decided by the judge. Thomas v. Elson, 6 C. Div. 346.

The official liquidator or any creditor or contributory can appeal. As regards the winding up order, the company can also appeal, but in such case the Court of Appeal will readily entertain an application for security for costs. In re Diamond Fuel Co., 13 C. Div. 400, 28 W. R. 309.

Where the liquidator in a winding-up by or under the supervision of the court desires to appeal, he should apply to the judge for liberty so to do. In re City & County Co., 13 C. Div. 483.

The Court of Appeal will not give the liquidator his costs out of the estate, but will leave him to apply in the windingu p, Wescomb's case, 9 Ch. 553; In re City & County Co., 13 C. Div. 483, and where the appeal is dismissed with costs, the liquidator will be ordered to pay them personally, the intention being that he is to pay whether he gets them out of the estate or not. Ferrao's case, 9 Ch. 355. In either case the liquidator can apply to the judge in the winding up to be allowed the costs. See Form 567.

As to appeals to House of Lords, see Dan. Forms, p. 792 et seq.
