Supreme Court held lower court must rule on transfer request during appeal review to ensure procedural fairness.

The Supreme Court ruled that the Court of Appeal was obligated to issue a decision on the request to transfer the case when reviewing the appeal. The appellant argued that the lower court's failure to address the transfer request violated procedural rights, while the lower court claimed it was merely screening the appeal. The court decided that omitting a ruling on the transfer request rendered the screening process incomplete and deprived the parties of a clear procedural path.
