    What is the time limit for filing an appeal at the RDSC?

    The time limit for filing an appeal against a judgment issued by the First Instance Division is fifteen (15) days. This period begins from the day following the date the judgment was issued. However, if the party against whom the judgment was issued failed to appear in all hearings and did not submit a statement of defence, the fifteen-day limit commences from the date they are officially served with the judgment. This ensures that all parties have a fair window to seek recourse.
