The Registrar of the appeal court has to do a few things to help with an appeal. You need to know that the Registrar must get everything ready for the appeal to be heard. This includes getting all the necessary documents and information to the court.

The Registrar must also get all the documents, exhibits, and other things that the court needs to make a decision. They have to give this information to the court so they can properly determine the appeal.

The Registrar has to tell the people involved in the appeal about the steps they need to take and when the appeal will be heard, so you know what to expect and when.
