The application for extension of time was dismissed because the applicant's delay was substantial and unjustified, especially the inexcusable four‑week inactivity after the solicitor became aware on 29 April; the applicant had an adverse track record in the proceedings and the proposed appeal lacked real prospects of success; accordingly extension was refused and costs ordered personally against the defendant's solicitors on an indemnity basis.
