The applicant failed to account for approximately 12 days of delay after receiving the judgment and decree copies, but the alleged illegality regarding spouse consent in the mortgage is of sufficient importance to warrant extension of time. Each case must be determined on its own merits, and in this case, the illegality raised constitutes good cause for extension.
