The summons is dismissed because the applicant failed to identify any arguable ground of appeal or any error of law in the refusal of leave; the Board's factual findings were properly reached and there is no reasonable prospect of success, so no extension of time to appeal is granted despite the short delay.

The application for leave to appeal was refused because the applicant's proposed grounds lacked any reasonably arguable basis and did not raise a question of great general or public importance as required by section 22(1)(b) Cap 484; arguability is a decisive factor when considering extensions of time.

The court granted the extension of time because, on a multi‑factorial and flexible exercise of discretion, the short delay (8 days), lack of prejudice to the respondent, the special circumstances that REDA sought to challenge binding Court of Appeal authorities at the Court of Final Appeal and the reasonable arguability of the intended appeal at the Court of Final Appeal outweighed the solicitor's mistake; accordingly extension to file the notice of appeal was ordered and costs were ordered nisi against REDA.

Leave to appeal was granted because the court was satisfied the proposed appeal was imminently arguable; accordingly the court ordered a stay of the order pending appeal, directed expeditious prosecution of the appeal, granted liberty to apply to both sides, and ordered costs to be costs in the cause of the appeal.
