Holding

The Motion is dismissed. The applicant is not entitled to the exercise of discretion in his favour.

Facts

There was a suit between the applicant and the respondent, which was determined in favour of the applicant. The respondent filed an appeal, which was allowed. The respondent then filed a suit claiming adverse possession, which was compromised by a consent. The applicant filed an application challenging the consent, which was dismissed.

Issues

  1. Whether there is inordinate delay in taking a necessary step in the intended appeal.
  2. Whether the intended appeal has any chance of success.
  3. Whether the respondent will be prejudiced if the Motion is allowed.

Reasoning

The delay in filing the notice of appeal was not explained reasonably. The intended appeal has no chance of success and the respondent will be prejudiced if the Motion is allowed.

Outcome

The Motion is dismissed.

Orders

  • The Motion is dismissed.
