    The application for extension of time was refused because the appellant failed to provide an acceptable explanation for non‑compliance with r 43, the appeal did not appear to have merit on the material before the Court, and there was an established pattern of dilatory conduct; accordingly no extension was granted and the appeal was deemed abandoned.
