Given a minimal delay (3 days), a reasonable explanation (late receipt of judgment posted on 9 July 2019), and the consequences of denying any avenue of appeal, the court exercised its discretion to extend time and grant leave to appeal out of time despite the applicant not specifying detailed grounds of appeal; applicant must still file notice and supporting affirmation within the timetable ordered.
