The court accepted the plaintiff's explanation that delay was caused by a dispute with former solicitors resulting in delayed access to papers, found no established real prejudice to the 1st defendant (compound interest prejudice premature and with due diligence reply could be prepared), and concluded that in the interests of justice an extension should be granted; accordingly the appeal was allowed, leave given to file the affirmation out of time and defendants permitted to file replies by a set date, with costs of the appeal ordered against the plaintiff to be paid forthwith.
