Civil Appeal – Extension of Time – Leave to Appeal – Ancillary Relief – Matrimonial Proceedings – District Court – Court of Appeal – Delay – Prospect of Success – Self-represented Litigants – The Court considered whether to grant an extension of time for the parties to apply for leave to appeal the District Court's ancillary relief judgment. The Court found the delay was short and the reason (lack of legal knowledge) understandable, but held there was no reasonable prospect of success on the appeal as the District Court Judge had correctly applied the law and evidence. The applications were dismissed with no costs order.
