Holding
The application is dismissed with costs to the respondent.
Facts
The applicant was not immediately informed of the judgment delivered on 31st July, 2013. She learned about the judgment almost a month later on 29th August, 2013. The applicant's previous advocate filed a Notice of Appeal on 30th August, 2013, which was a few days late.
Issues
- Whether to grant an extension of time to file an appeal
- Whether the delay in filing the appeal was prejudicial to the respondent
Reasoning
The court found no merit in the application due to the applicant's inordinate delay in filing the application for leave to appeal in the High Court and the instant application. The court also noted that the applicant failed to demonstrate how the appeal was arguable.
Outcome
Dismissed with costs
