The Court of First Instance is bound by the Court of Appeal's decision in Effiscient that 'entered for hearing' under Order 52 r3(2) requires issuing a Notice of Appointment to Hear Originating Summons; these proceedings are criminal contempts and the court has no inherent jurisdiction to extend the 14‑day period in Order 52 r3(2); therefore the leave granted on 20 March 2015 lapsed for failure to enter the originating summons for hearing within 14 days and the Time Summons is dismissed.
