ELINORE J. SCHOLZ vs. WALTER P. SCHOLZ.
The libellee seasonably appealed from a decree of divorce nisi granted to his wife in a Probate Court on July 10, 1972, but he failed to seek or obtain a stay of the decree pending the appeal under the provisions of G. L. c. 215, Sections 23 and 24. In the absence of such a stay, the decree became absolute upon the expiration of six months form the date of entry. G. L. c. 208, Section 21. In these circumstances the appeal brings no issue before the court. Sloane v. Sloane, 349 Mass. 318 , 318-319 (1965). See MacNevin vs. MacNevin, 319 Mass. 719 (1946).
VINCENT J. MARINO vs. BOARD OF APPEAL OF BEVERLY & others.
bill (though purporting to have been brought under G. L. c. 40A, Section 21) as having been brought under the proper statute, G. L. c. 41, Section 81BB (see Rice v. Board of Appeals of Dennis, 342 Mass. 499 , 501-502 ; Sandberg v. Board of Appeals of Taunton, 349 Mass. 769 ; P & D Serv. Co. v. Zoning Bd. of Appeals of Dedham, 359 Mass. 96 , 104-105 ; Ouellette v. Building Inspector of Quincy, 362 Mass. 272 , 276 ), the fact remains that neither the inspector (see G. L. c. 41, Section 81Y, as inserted by St. 1953, c. 674, Section 7), nor the board of appeal (see G. L. c. 41, Section 81Z, as amended through St. 1958, c. 201) had the power to grant the permit so long as the restriction remained in effect. Ellen M. Gifford Sheltering Home Corp. v. Board of Appeals of Wayland, 349 Mass. 292 , 294 (1965). This would be true even if the restriction had been imposed without compliance with the hearing requirements of G. L. c. 41, Section 81T, as inserted by St. 1953, c. 674, Section 7 (see Pieper v. Planning Bd. of Southborough, 340 Mass. 157 , 161 ; Doliner v. Planning Bd. of Millis, 343 Mass. 1 , 5 ), or were invalid for any other reason. See Campanelle, Inc. v. Planning Bd. of Ipswich, 358 Mass. 798 (1970). The appropriate remedy in either event "was by appeal under G. L. c. 41, Section 81BB [from the action of the planning board]." Rounds v. Board of Water & Sewer Commrs. of Wilmington, 347 Mass. 40 , 45 (1964).
