Clause 67

Subject to the provisions of this Part of this Ordinance an appeal shall lie from any order or the refusal of any order by a District Court or Magistrate’s Court under this Part of this Ordinance to the High Court exercising appellate civil jurisdiction under the provisions of the Courts Ordinance (Cap. 3).

There shall be no appeal on the ground that the amount of any monthly allowance ordered to be paid by any court under this Ordinance is excessive or insufficient unless such allowance so ordered exceeds the sum of one hundred dollars per mensem or unless the court in fixing the amount of such monthly allowance shall have misdirected itself on a matter of law.

All appeals brought under this section shall be by way of rehearing and the High Court shall have the like powers and jurisdiction on the hearing of such appeals as the Court of Appeal has on the hearing of appeals from the High Court under the Courts Ordinance.

No appeal made under the provisions of this Part of this Ordinance from any order shall operate as a stay of such order unless the High Court or the District or Magistrate’s Court so directs.
