Holding

The Court grants the application for extension of time to file an appeal out of time.

Issues

  1. Whether the applicant should be allowed to file an appeal out of time
  2. Whether the applicant's intended appeal raises substantial arguable issues and would cause prejudice if not allowed

Reasoning

Outcome

Granted
