Whether a transcript of judge’s decision was to be provided by the court before the appeal particulars were filed.
Held: A litigant in person was not entitled to have produced for him a free transcript of the judgment against which he sought to appeal. The applicant said he could not produce his grounds of appeal until he had seen the transcript, and the judge had ordered that no transcript could be provided without the appellant first providing his grounds of appeal. Mr Perotti had himself taken a tape recording of the judgment, and it was open to him to have himself made notes of the judgment as it was given or to ask the defendant if they would provide a copy. He had not done so.
