Holding

The Court of Appeal upheld the High Court's decision to deny the extension of time.

  2. Whether the applicant's reasons for delay were sufficient to justify an extension of time

Reasoning

The Court of Appeal found that the applicant's reasons for delay were not candidly explained and that the period of delay was not inordinate.

Outcome
