梁 對 陳
The applicant’s roughly 17‑month unexplained delay is excessive and unjustified and, on the merits, the proposed appeal has no real prospect of success because the trial judge’s interim maintenance decision was a permissible exercise of judicial discretion supported by the applicant’s own recorded admissions about income and willingness to pay; accordingly the court properly refused to grant leave out of time and declined to exercise discretion to permit the late appeal.
