Motion for extension of time to perfect application dismissed for lack of diligence and merit.
The applicant failed to perfect his application for leave and judicial review within the prescribed time and was deemed to have discontinued the proceeding under a Federal Court practice direction.
He brought a motion to revoke the discontinuance and extend time.
The Court found the practice direction did not alter the legal test for an extension of time.
The motion was dismissed because the applicant failed to provide a reasonable explanation for the delay and failed to show the underlying application had merit.
