Court

Court of Appeal

The 13-day delay was a minor breach; applying Almond v Read the Court will not undertake close merits assessment on an extension application and found the proposed appeal was not hopeless. Accordingly the extension of time to appeal was granted and no costs ordered given the applicant's self-representation.

High Court

The High Court declined to grant a stay or extend time because the applicable appeal periods had expired, any extension must be sought in the Court of Appeal or Supreme Court under the relevant rules, and the applicant failed to demonstrate the requisite risk of substantial miscarriage of justice to justify a stay.
