The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, ruling that the procedural requirement for timely filing was met. The appellant submitted the appeal document via telecopy within the deadline, while a signed hard copy was mailed shortly after the deadline expired. The court determined that the timely telecopied submission satisfied the statutory filing requirement, rendering the subsequent mailing of the signed version irrelevant to the timeliness of the appeal.
