- Court of Appeal
The Court declined to extend time because the Almond v Read criteria were not met: there was a substantial unexplained delay of approximately one year, the applicant had pursued multiple overlapping proceedings leading to unreasonable multiplicity and prejudice to the respondent, and the proposed appeal was not of clear public importance or sufficiently meritorious to outweigh those factors. Costs were awarded to the respondent on a band A basis.
