3 (b) Filing of Briefs 9. As set out in further detail below, the present proceedings were significantly delayed by repeated applications for extension of time in relation to an application for admission of additional evidence first made by the Defence on 6 October 1997. 9 In January 1998, the Appeals Chamber suspended the timetable for filings in the Appeals until the determination of the Appellant’s application. 10 Following the Appeals Chamber’s decision of 15 October 1998 on the matter, 11 the normal appeals sequence resumed. In view of the rather complicated pattern formed by the parties’ briefs on the Appeals, it is useful to refer to the written submissions filed by the parties. 10. The Defence filed separate briefs for the Appeal against Judgement (“Appellant’s Brief on Judgement”) and the Appeal against Sentencing Judgement (“Appellant’s Brief on Sentencing Judgement”). These briefs were filed on 12 January 1998. 12 The Prosecution responded to the briefs of the Appellant on 16 and 17 November 1998 (“Prosecution’s Response to Appellant’s Brief on Judgement” and “Prosecution’s Response to Appellant’s Brief on Sentencing Judgement”, respectively). 13 11. As a consequence of filing an Amended Notice of Appeal against Judgement, the Defence filed an Amended Brief of Argument (with annexes) on 8 January 1999 (“Appellant’s Amended Brief on Judgement”). 14 This subsequent brief was accepted by order of the Appeals Chamber on 25 January 1999. 15 12. Alongside the filings in relation to the Appellant’s Appeal against Judgement and Appeal against Sentencing Judgement, both parties filed written submissions in relation to the Prosecution’s Cross-Appeal. The Prosecution’s brief in relation to the Cross-Appeal 9 “Motion for the Extension of the Time Limit”, Case No.: IT-94-1-A, 6 October 1997. T. 105 (22 January 1998). 11 “Decision on Appellant’s Motion for the Extension of the Time-limit and Admission of Additional Evidence”, Case No.: IT-94-1-A, 15 October 1998. 12 “Appellants Brief on Appeal Against Opinion and Judgement of 7 May 1997”, Case No.: IT-94-1-A, 12 January 1998, with accompanying appendices separately filed; “Appellant’s Brief on Appeal Against Sentencing Judgement” Case No.: IT-94-1-A, 12 January 1998. 13 “Cross-Appellant’s Response to Appellant’s Brief on Appeal against Opinion and Judgement of May 7, 1997, Filed on 12 January 1998”, Case No.: IT-94-1-A, 17 November 1998; “Response to Appellant’s Brief on Appeal Against Sentencing Judgement filed on 12 January 1998”, Case No.: IT-94-1-A, 16 November 1998. 14 “Amended Brief of Argument on behalf of the Appellant”, Case No.: IT-94-1-A, 8 January 1999. 15 T. 308 (25 January 1999). 10 Case No.: -94-1-A 15 July 1999
