The 1 st applicant sold property to the 2 nd applicant and the 1 st
respondent wife to the 1 st applicant successfully challenged
the sale in the court as the same was considered to be
matrimonial property. The Court of Appeal reversed the High
Court’s judgment and the respondent instructed their counsel
to appeal the decision who delayed and the applicant filed a
notice of motion for dismissal. The respondents instructed
another counsel to file an application for extension of time to
file an appeal. The matter was referred to a single justice who
allowed the application after non-appearance of the
applicant’s counsel. The application was referred to a full
bench.
