s 432Groundless appeals

(1)

If it appears to the Registrar that a notice of an appeal does not show any substantial ground of appeal, he may refer the appeal to the

Court of Appeal for summary determination.

(2)

If a case is referred to it under subsection (I), the Court of

Appeal may, if it considers that the appeal is frivolous or vexatious and can

a be determined without any full hearing, dismiss the appeal summarily, without calling on anyone to attend the hearing or to appear for the prosecution thereon.
