77V  Death of party to an appeal
 (1) When a party to a judgment from which an appeal lies to the High Court has, whether before or after the commencement of this section, died before the time allowed for instituting an appeal has expired, it is not necessary to revive the cause or matter by any formal proceedings.
 (2) If the personal representative of the deceased party desires to appeal, he or she may file in the Court by which the judgment was given or made a duly certified copy of the instrument by which he or she is appointed, and thereupon may institute an appeal in the same manner as the party whom he or she represents might have done.
 (3) In the case of the death of the party in whose favour the judgment is given or made, notice of appeal may be given to his or her personal representative, or, if there is no such representative, to such person as the High Court directs.
