After investigation of representations, the Court was satisfied the solicitors were aware of time limits, had raised the out‑of‑time issue with counsel and were entitled to rely on counsel's assurance to seek an extension; the failure to make the application was an omission attributable to counsel, not the solicitors, and the implicit criticism of the solicitors in the earlier judgment is withdrawn.
