It also increases the maximum security that may be required from an appellant for the due prosecution of an appeal and for any costs awarded against him, from $30,000 to $100,000.\nThe Rules also specify a time limit of 14 days within which notice of appeal shall be given. This Order gives the Court the power to extend this period.",
