“But according to Order VII Rule 12(2) however, an appeal is not entered until the record of appeal has been received in this Court and entered in the cause list. The Rule reads-“(2) The Registrar of the Court below shall also cause to be served on all parties mentioned in the notice of appeal who have filed an address for service a notice that the record has been forwarded to the Registrar of the Court who shall in due course enter the appeal in the cause list.” In the case of Ogunremi and Anor. v. Dada [1962] 1 All N.L.R. 663, this Court at p. 668 of the report decided that an appeal to the Supreme Court is entered when the record of appeal is received in that Court and entered in the Cause list in accordance with the above rules. In that case, judgment was entered in favour of the plaintiffs against the defendant in the High Court of the then Western Region. The defendant caused a notice of appeal to be filed in that Court and then filed a motion in the Federal Supreme Court (as this Court was then) for a stay of execution. The Court refused a stay on the ground that a notice of appeal had not been entered in the Court.”
