The applicant failed to account for the 79 days of delay and did not provide sufficient cause for extension of time. Alleged irregularities and illegalities were not apparent on the face of the record and were not adequately explained. Ignorance of the language of the judgment and deed of settlement is not a sufficient reason for extension of time.
