The appeal was dismissed because the Ward Tribunal issued a binding judgment after hearing both parties, the appellant was aware of the proceedings and value of the land, and failed to account for the delay. The alleged illegality and jurisdictional issues were not sufficient to justify extension of time given the appellant's inaction.
