Whether the joint appeal against the non-entry decision was admissible despite continued formal defects in the joint divorce petition.
The appeal was inadmissible because the appellants did not cure the formal defects and had not shown any reason for an office extension.
The court found that the joint petition still failed to meet the formal requirements of Art. 285 CPC. Since the spouses did not respond to the invitation to withdraw the appeal and file a proper new petition, and because they could refile in due form without prejudice, no ex officio extension was necessary.
