The application to extend the time to file an appeal was refused because the delay of about five years was serious and unexplained, the applicant failed to show his proposed appeal had a real prospect of success, his stated reasons (awaiting police recovery of a vehicle and belief that appeals had no time limit) were unreasonable or inconsistent, and granting relief would cause prejudice and constitute abusive use of court resources; costs were ordered against the applicant on an indemnity basis to be assessed summarily.
