The master correctly struck out the Statement of Claim because the company had been dissolved and any cause of action vested in the Government as bona vacantia; exceptions to Foss v Harbottle cannot override the statutory vesting; the master properly expunged the late affirmation and refused an adjournment; the appellant offered no reasonable explanation for delay and had no prospect of success, so leave to appeal out of time was refused and the appeal dismissed.
