- Court of Appeal
The extension of time was declined because the proposed appeal had no real prospect of success: the High Court's award of costs was an orthodox exercise of discretion under the High Court Rules and consistent with the primary rule that a lay litigant does not ordinarily recover costs; there was no error of principle or other basis to overturn the costs decision.
