Holding

The court denied the application for leave to appeal out of time and stay of execution due to unreasonable delay.

Facts

The applicant failed to file an appeal within the prescribed time frame and the court found that the delay was due to the absence of a judgment notice, which was later provided.

Issues

  1. Whether the applicant had met the threshold to warrant grant of leave to appeal out of time.
  2. Whether the applicant had demonstrated sufficient grounds to warrant orders for stay of execution pending appeal.

Reasoning

The court found that the applicant's delay in filing the appeal was unreasonable and inordinate, given the court's and respondent's counsel's efforts to keep the applicant informed about the proceedings.

Outcome

The application was denied.
