Summary
The Supreme Court declined to interfere with a remand directing the first appellate court to decide the appeal and cross-objection afresh. The remand was justified on the facts. The Court also observed that an order confined to remand did not require sixty pages or extensive reproduction of authorities, and encouraged brevity. The appeals were dismissed in limine.
Issues
- Whether the High Court’s remand for fresh decision of the first appeal and cross-objection required interference.
Held
- The High Court had only remitted the first appeal and cross-objection for fresh merits consideration. In the circumstances, that remand warranted no interference. (¶ 3)
- Having decided to remand, the High Court should have confined its examination to that issue; the lengthy order and detailed citation of numerous decisions were unnecessary. (¶ 4)
Result
Appeals dismissed in limine; remand to the first appellate court maintained.
