Holding

Issues

  1. Whether the High Court judge erred in extending the time for filing the appeal and record of appeal.
  2. Whether the Court of Appeal should interfere with the High Court judge's decision on the extension of time.

Reasoning

The Court of Appeal ruled that the High Court judge took into account relevant factors and did not misapprehend the law. The Court found no grounds to interfere with the judge's decision.

Outcome

Application dismissed
