The moving party sought an extension of time to serve and file a notice of appeal from a family law judgment.
The delay in filing was only one day, but the moving party had a history of unreasonable conduct, delay, and non-compliance with court orders throughout the proceedings.
The motion judge reviewed the merits of the proposed appeal, which challenged the striking of pleadings, occupation rent, and post-separation adjustments, and found them to be completely devoid of merit.
The motion for an extension of time was dismissed as it was not in the interests of justice to allow the meritless appeal to proceed.
