1.This is the applicant’s application filed on 16 August 2019 for extension of time to appeal against my decision delivered on 17 July 2019.

2.There was a misunderstanding that the decision made on 17 July 2019 as dismissing his application for his absence at the hearing. As a result, the Court took a generous view and set aside its decision on 17 July 2019 (“the said decision”). I then invited the applicant to make submissions on the merits of his case.

3.At the hearing, the applicant stated specifically that he had said everything in his statement; that he did not remember anything and that he did not want to say anything.

4.In the circumstances, the applicant has not given any reasons to support that he has any reasonable chance in his intended appeal against the said decision.

5.The order which set aside the said decision should not stand and be set aside forthwith. The said decision should be reinstated with immediate effect.

6.The applicant’s application for extension of time to appeal against the said decision is refused. Accordingly, his application is dismissed.

The applicant appeared in person
