Refusal of extension of time was justified because the applicant was late by six days, failed to provide a valid reason such as notifying detention or a change of address to excuse the delay, the court's decision was properly served and she was deemed to have received it, and the intended appeal had no realistic prospect of success given the Board's findings that the creditor lacked intent to kill or harm, state protection was available and internal relocation was viable; accordingly extension was refused and the application dismissed.
