When can someone appeal to Supreme Court?

    (1)     A person may appeal to the Supreme Court against an appealable decision if the person was a party to the proceeding in which the decision was made.

    (2)     The person must file a notice of appeal (the notice of appeal ) with the Supreme Court not later than 21 days after—

        (a)     if the appealable decision was the making or amending of a protection order and the respondent was not present when the protection order was made or amended—the day the protection order or amendment is served on the respondent; or

        (b)     in any other case—the date of the order.

    (3)     However, the Supreme Court may allow a person to file a notice of appeal after the period mentioned in subsection (2) if satisfied that it is appropriate to do so.
