The procedural obligations of Appellants are profoundly more onerous and expensive than any on-line sources would have you believe. The manner in which I was required to produce my 8 copies of the 1500 pages of Appeal Books was very strictly prescribed, including the sequential page numbering of 'clean' copies of any and all of the abundant documents which were produced during the 'lower court' litigation. The Table of Contents was 8 pages long etc.etc. etc. It is nauseating to recall the process. Then there was the Factum, which I was advised is the most important of all documents. These "concise compilation of facts and legal arguments" are advanced to all three of the Justices who will preside at the Hearing. My Appellant Factum was due last week. The Respondent Factums are due in a few weeks. The Hearing in this case is "set down" for May 23rd.
The Appellant's Factum, having been filed, is now a public record. The link below delivers the PDF as filed.
