- Court of Appeal
Because the notice of appeal was filed in time but served seven working days late due to solicitor error, the applicants applied promptly, the respondents identified no substantial prejudice, and Almond v Read directs that short solicitor‑error delays should generally be excused unless the proposed appeal is clearly hopeless, the Court granted the extension and awarded standard band A costs to the applicants.
