Leave to apply for judicial review was granted out of time because it was reasonably arguable with realistic prospects that the Board had erred by failing to consider the substantive merits of the applicant's proposed appeal as required by s.37ZT(2) of the Immigration Ordinance; balancing the criteria for extension (length/reason for delay, merits and prejudice) the court exercised its discretion to extend time and permit the application to proceed.
