The appellant, who had been disbarred, brought a motion to set aside the Registrar's order dismissing his appeal for failure to perfect it within a year.
He also sought an extension of time to perfect the appeal and leave to file a Supplemental Notice of Appeal.
The court found that while his explanation for the delay was weak, he had an intention to perfect the appeal and would suffer irreparable harm if it were dismissed.
The court granted an extension of time to perfect the appeal but denied leave to file the Supplemental Notice of Appeal, which raised new issues.
