The court refused the respondents' application to discharge the appeal and granted an extension of time because the solicitor's oversight and misunderstanding provided a sufficient explanation when weighed against the appellant's clear intention to appeal, lack of prejudice to respondents, steps taken once the issue was identified, and the high stakes involved; the court therefore exercised its discretion in favour of allowing the appeal to proceed and extended time to 12 June 1980.
