The application for review was properly dismissed as out of time because section 31 LTO prescribes a non-extendable 7-day limit; the judge has no power to extend that limit and therefore had to dismiss the Defendant's leave to appeal application against the Consent Order for being out of time and lacking good reason; on the merits there was no duty on the Claimant to disclose the alleged internet comments or secret email and those matters were irrelevant or inadmissible to vitiate the Consent Order, so the intended appeal had no prospect of success.
