Lodowski v Mease [1995] UKEAT 531_94_2203 (22 March 1995)

The appellant failed to provide a satisfactory excuse for the late appeal, as he was aware of the judgment by November 1993 but did not act promptly, and the explanations regarding advice and inability to afford legal representation were insufficient. The appeal was therefore dismissed and the time for appealing was not extended.
