The Court dismissed the appeal and affirmed A Cheung Js refusal to grant leave out of time because the delay was substantial and the mere fact of a subsequent decision exposing an earlier erroneous understanding of the law (Wong Tak Wai) did not constitute the exceptional circumstances required to displace the practical necessity for finality; the exercise of discretion to refuse extension of time was not shown to be wrong.
