The moving party sought an extension of time to file a notice of appeal from orders relating to a divorce application that proceeded on an uncontested basis due to his failure to comply with disclosure orders.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the motion, finding no adequate explanation for the eight-month delay, significant prejudice to the responding party's health, and a lack of merit in the proposed grounds of appeal.
The court also noted the moving party's history of non-compliance with court orders.
