    Section 79(1) of the Trade Marks Ordinance governs appeals to the Court of Appeal from High Court review of the Registrar and prescribes the appeal period; the Rules of the Supreme Court cannot override that statutory 21‑day limit and the Court has no power to extend that statutory period; therefore the application for leave to file the notice of appeal out of time is dismissed.
