The respondent had acquired the right to live in the UK. After visiting Jamaica, he was refused entry. He appealed and was admitted. The Secretary of State sought an extension of time to file a request for leave to appeal with the Court of Appeal.
Held: The time for such an appeal was 14 days. Justice required a party to know that a judgment could be relied upon after a certain time. No good reason had been given for the delay, and leave was refused.
