Facts

The applicant Patrick Kabue Muchene was dismissed by the Environment and Land Court for failing to establish adverse possession against the respondents. He filed a notice of appeal but later applied for an extension of time to file the memorandum and record of appeal.

Issues

  1. Whether the applicant has an arguable intended appeal
  2. Whether the delay in filing the application is reasonable

Reasoning

The Court found the delay in filing the application to be inordinate and unexplained, and thus not merited.
