1) A party who is not satisfied with a judgment or final order made by a court may make an appeal within thirty days from the date of knowledge of the judgment.

Provided that if an appealing party makes a petition showing the cause of being unable to make an appeal within that time limit and the appeal hearing court considers the petition to be reasonable, it may order the extension of the time limit for a maximum of thirty days.

2) A person wishing to make an appeal pursuant to sub-section (1) shall file it with the court which hears appeals from the court making judgment.

3) Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in this Act, if any party to a case or his or her attorney is present, or his or her law practitioner has made pleadings, before the court at the time of hearing and judgment is made on the same day, the party to the case shall be deemed to have known that such judgment has been made.

4) Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in this Section, the party shall be deemed to have ipso facto known the judgment after the expiry of a period of one year from the date of judgment.
