The applicant sought an extension of time to file a Notice of Appeal from a 2009 finding that he was not criminally responsible (NCR) for assault with a weapon and criminal harassment.
The applicant filed the Notice of Appeal 11.5 years after the NCR finding.
The motions judge applied the test for extending time to appeal, considering the applicant's intention, explanation for delay, and the merits of the proposed appeal.
The court found no bona fide intention to appeal within the appeal period, an inadequate explanation for the 11.5-year delay, and no merit to the proposed appeal.
The application was dismissed.
