Satchithanantham v Folkes

Satchithanantham, the appellant, appealed against interlocutory orders made by the Magistrates Court, which were intended to address a dispute involving a third party, Folkes, the respondent. The appellant sought to appeal the interlocutory orders on the basis that they were incorrectly made. The legal issue before the court was whether it had jurisdiction to hear the appeal against the interlocutory orders. The court considered whether it had jurisdiction to hear the appeal from the interlocutory orders, and whether it was appropriate to hear the appeal at that stage in the proceedings. The court found that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the appeal against the interlocutory orders as the appeal was interlocutory in nature, and such appeals could only be heard at the conclusion of the proceedings. The court held that the appeal was premature and thus dismissed the appeal. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed and no further orders were made.
