Catchwords

5. The sole issue arising for determination in Enclosure 1 is whether this is an appropriate case for the Court to exercise its discretion to extend time for the Plaintiff to file a Notice of Appeal out of time. 6. At its core, the application raises the question whether the Plaintiff’s non-compliance with the prescribed time limit under the Rules of Court 2012 for filing a Notice of Appeal should attract the consequence of refusal of an extension, thereby bringing finality to the litigation, or whether the circumstances justify the grant of indulgence so as to permit the intended appeal to be heard and determined on its merits. 7. Stated differently, the Court is required to strike a balance between the competing imperatives of procedural discipline and finality on the one hand, and the interest of substantive justice on the other. It is within this tension that the Plaintiff’s application for an extension of time falls to be determined.
