Applicant failed to discharge the burden of proving a reasonable excuse for approximately 19 months' delay in issuing the joinder application. The court found that the applicant and/or his former solicitors already possessed the second notification identifying HKFS, the employer's late or amended Form 2 and HKFS's delayed reply did not excuse the delay, and the default of former solicitors cannot be relied upon as a reasonable excuse. Accordingly the joinder application was dismissed.
