1. This is a case where although the application for compensation is some way out of time, I think there is a very good reason why the Applicant was persuaded to, or at least did not make the application in time. He was advised to hold off by the Respondent's insurers who were telling him that there was some prospect of the matter being settled before the matter came to court and, quite rightly, Mr Lam who appears for the Respondents, does not resist the application.
