The application to extend time was dismissed because the 11‑day delay was inexcusable (the solicitor's mistake as to the appeal period was unexplained), the appellant failed to demonstrate a real prospect of success on the merits given that inexcusable delay, and absence of prejudice to respondents is not a ground for extension; accordingly discretion was exercised against the appellant.
