Defects in proceedings under appeal
Cap. 91, s. 117 · Revised Edition 2020
On an appeal no objection shall be taken or allowed to any proceeding in an inferior court for any defect or error which might have been amended by that Court, or to any complaint,
summons, warrant or other process to or of that Court, for any alleged defect therein in substance or in form, or for any variance between any complaint or summons and the evidence adduced in support thereof in that Court,
Provided that if any error, defect or variance mentioned in this section appears to the Court at the hearing of an appeal to be such that the appellant has been thereby deceived or misled, the Court may either refer the cause back to the inferior court with directions to re-hear and determine it, or reverse the decision under appeal, or may make any other order for disposal of the cause which justice requires.
