The court allowed both the extension of time and the amendment because it is bound by the Court of Appeal authority that the High Court has discretion to extend time under section 37(4); the delay was minimal (3 days), the respondent would not be prejudiced, and substantive justice requires the merits of the originating summons to be heard; amendment does not occasion prejudice and can be contested on merits at hearing.
