The extension of time was refused because there was substantial undue delay without good reason: the applicant and his lawyers failed to act with due diligence in obtaining and filing the application within the statutory period; the delay would be detrimental to good administration; and the proposed grounds of review lacked reasonable arguability and realistic prospect of success. The Adjudicator acted within statutory discretion and procedural fairness in declining to adjourn and determining the appeal in the applicant's absence after finding the medical excuse unsatisfactory.
