The court granted a one‑day extension of time but refused to admit the late affidavit because it failed the Ladd v Marshall criteria and amounted to evidence that could have been obtained earlier; the defendant showed no real prospect of success on the merits because he had no title, failed to establish when occupation began and thus could not prove adverse possession for the requisite period; accordingly the appeal against the hearing officer's order was dismissed and the hearing officer's order was upheld with costs to the plaintiff.
