The appeal was allowed because the respondent failed to provide a reasonable and justifiable explanation for not filing an appearance within the mandatory 14-day period; the court held that the statutory time limit for appearance is a basic procedural requirement that should be prioritised and could have been complied with by the respondent's legal department without awaiting political or administrative approvals, therefore the Sessions Court judge erred in allowing the extension.
