- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCMP1626/2001
The court has no jurisdiction to extend the one-month filing period in rule 39(1) because that time limit is imposed by statute/rules not by the court; rule 100 excludes the Registrar's power to extend that specific provision and there is no statutory authorization for the court to extend it by inherent jurisdiction or under Order 3 r5, therefore the application to extend time must be dismissed.
