Holding
The application is dismissed with costs to the respondents.
Facts
The applicants were aggrieved by the decision of the High Court and intended to appeal against it, but failed to file the notice of appeal within the required fourteen days. The applicants sought an order to enlarge time to file the notice of appeal due to insufficient notice of the judgment.
Issues
- Whether the applicants have sufficient notice of the judgment
- Whether the applicants should be granted an order to enlarge time to file the notice of appeal
Reasoning
The applicants did not have sufficient notice of the judgment and failed to file the notice of appeal within the required time. The Court cannot exercise its discretion to extend the time for filing the notice of appeal due to the lack of explanation for the delay and the applicants' dereliction of duty.
