- Court of Appeal
The Court allowed the extension of time because the delay was moderate and adequately explained by the traumatic effect of the Family Court judgment and subsequent costs judgment, there was no demonstrated incremental prejudice from the delay, the High Court had erred by treating Family Court factual and credibility findings as conclusive in deciding the extension, and the proposed appeal was not clearly hopeless under the Almond v Read test so the interests of justice required granting leave.
