Leave to appeal out of time was refused because the defendants delayed for an inordinate period (c.10–12 months) without an adequate explanation, had affirmed and acted upon the Master's order (including enforcement steps) thus estopping themselves, and the plaintiff would be prejudiced; accordingly the court exercised its discretion to dismiss the application and award costs.
