Holding

The application is fixed for hearing in the normal course.

Facts

The applicants sought leave to file and serve a notice of appeal and the Memorandum and Record of Appeal out of time, but the Court of Appeal refused to certify the application as urgent. Four months later, the applicants requested a hearing under Rule 49(5) of the Court of Appeal Rules.

Issues

  1. Urgency of the application
  2. Timing of the appeal

Reasoning

The Court of Appeal found that the decision of the ELC was rendered over a year ago, and the application was not made until February 2024, thus not justifying urgency.

Outcome

The application is fixed for hearing in the normal course.

Orders

  • Application fixed for hearing in the normal course.
