The TCAB committed a material error of law by refusing late filing without properly considering the merits and special circumstances; because that error was fundamental the court exercised its discretion to extend time despite gross delay, granted leave to apply for judicial review of the TCAB decision dated 5 July 2019 and remitted the matter to the TCAB for reconsideration, with directions for the applicant to issue the originating summons within 14 days.
