9 Mar 2026
The delay was inexcusable because the applicant failed to notify the court of her change of address and therefore did not receive the decision; under established authorities an inexcusable delay requires the applicant to demonstrate a real prospect of success, which she did not because no error of law or procedural unfairness was shown in the Board's findings; accordingly extension of time was refused and the summons dismissed.
28 Nov 2025

13 Dec 2024
Extension of time to appeal was refused because the applicant's delay was inexcusable (failed to notify change of address and allowed correspondence to be returned) and, where delay is inexcusable, the applicant lacked a real prospect of success because the Board's adverse credibility findings and conclusions on risk and internal relocation involved no legal error, procedural unfairness or irrationality; decision on paper was permissible in the absence of a request for oral hearing.
11 Sept 2024
Refusal of extension of time was justified because the applicant failed to notify changes of address and therefore offered no valid explanation for the delay, failed to provide any arguable grounds of appeal (only disagreed with factual findings), the intended appeal had no prospect of success under judicial review standards, and granting an extension would constitute abuse of process and cause prejudice to the respondent and public administration.
11 Jul 2024
Extension of time was refused because the applicant failed to provide any reasonable explanation for delay or for not receiving the order, failed to notify change of address, and failed to identify any arguable error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality in the Board's or Judge's decisions such that the intended appeal had no real prospect of success; accordingly the summons was dismissed.
11 Jul 2024
Extension of time was refused because the applicant offered no reasonable excuse for delay or change of address notification, failed to specify any arguable legal ground to impugn the Board's adverse credibility findings or to identify any error of law or procedural unfairness by the Judge, and therefore the intended appeal was hopeless; accordingly the summons for extension filed 9 February 2023 is dismissed.
20 Mar 2024
The Court refused the application for extension of time because the intended appeal was hopeless: the applicant failed to identify any arguable legal error, procedural unfairness or irrationality in the Board's decision or any error by the judge in refusing leave; consequently there was no prospect of success and no basis to grant an extension of time.
2 Feb 2024
Extension of time to appeal was refused because the applicant was approximately three months late, failed to provide an acceptable or corroborated explanation for the delay or non-receipt of the decision, and the intended appeal had no prospect of success since no error of law or procedural unfairness was identified.
28 Mar 2023
The extension of time was refused because the court properly inferred the applicant received the court's letter to the 1st Address, the applicant then delayed over one year without any reasonable explanation for the substantial delay or for failure to update her address, and the intended appeal was hopeless because no arguable error of law, procedural unfairness or Wednesbury unreasonableness in the Board's or Judge's decisions was identified; lack of counsel or limited English did not establish unfairness sufficient to excuse the delay.
