Holding

The applicants' application to strike out the respondents' notice of appeal is granted.

Facts

The trial judge denied the respondents' application to review the trial judge's earlier ruling denying the respondents leave to defend the suit. The respondents filed an application to enlarge time to file a notice of appeal, which was granted by the court. The respondents filed and served the notice of appeal five days after the prescribed time.

Issues

  1. Whether the respondents' notice of appeal should be struck out due to exceeding the prescribed time
  2. Whether the respondents' application to enlarge time should be considered valid

Reasoning

The court found that the respondents exceeded the prescribed time to file the notice of appeal and that the application to enlarge time was not considered valid.

Outcome

The applicants' application to strike out the respondents' notice of appeal is granted.
