The applicant sought review of a single judge’s order refusing an extension of time to appeal the dismissal of two civil actions tried together, one arising from a motor vehicle accident and the other from an alleged solicitor negligence claim connected to earlier accident litigation.
The court gave the applicant the benefit of the doubt on delay but held there was no basis to disturb the single judge’s conclusion that the proposed appeal lacked sufficient merit.
The proposed appeal turned primarily on credibility findings and factual determinations, including the treatment of medical evidence based on incomplete or inaccurate histories.
The application was dismissed with costs.
