MOSES DAUDI EXTENSION OF TIME

MOSES DAUDI EXTENSION OF TIME

The applicant accounted for the 12-day delay, which was not inordinate, and demonstrated diligence in seeking a new advocate after the previous one failed to act. The applicant also pointed out illegality in the CMA decision, specifically the lack of a right to be heard before termination. These factors constitute sufficient cause for extension of time.
