The application is time barred as it was filed well beyond the statutory 30-day period for setting aside a sale in execution, and no sufficient evidence was provided to justify extension or to show when the applicant became aware of the sale. Submissions from the bar cannot substitute for affidavit evidence. The first preliminary objection is upheld, warranting dismissal of the application with costs.
