Because the State Authority conceded late service of the Form LC (more than seven months after the award), the court found that special circumstances existed and accordingly exercised its discretion under s38(4) LAA 1960 to enlarge time and grant the Plaintiff leave to file the objection form (Form N).

The court exercised its discretion under s.38(4) LAA and held that the State Authority's conceded late service of Form LC (served over seven months after the award) constituted 'special circumstances' justifying enlargement of the six‑week period, and therefore granted the Plaintiff an extension to file objections in accordance with the prayers set out in the originating papers.
