The High Court held that s.33C IRA 1967 prescribes a mandatory 14-day appeal period which the court is not empowered to extend under O.3 r.5 RC 2012 or by inherent jurisdiction absent plausible, legitimate and compelling grounds; the plaintiff's ignorance of the law and solicitor's mistake did not justify extension; the Originating Summons failed and was dismissed with costs RM2,000.
