1. This is the application by the employer for an extension of time to appeal. The delay is 20 days. In my opinion, the delay is inexcusable, section 23 of the Employees’ Compensation Ordinance, Cap. 282 is clear in its terms and it is difficult to understand why the solicitors for the respondent should have thought that appeal was not as of right but was governed by O. 58 r. 2 Rules of the District Court, Cap. 336.
