The applicant failed to demonstrate good reasons for the substantial delay in applying for leave to apply for judicial review; ignorance of the availability of judicial review and the pursuit of legal aid do not justify the delay, the applicant did not act promptly once aware, and extension would prejudice good administration by delaying completion of the Programme and return of approximately HK$298,000,000 in unused funds; accordingly extension of time was refused and the respondent's summons to set aside the ex parte leave was allowed.
