The applicant sought leave to extend the time to appeal a 2015 finding that he was not criminally responsible (NCR) for several offences.
The applicant had previously launched and abandoned an appeal in 2017.
The court applied the test for extending time to appeal, finding that the applicant lacked a bona fide intention to appeal within the relevant time frame, failed to adequately explain the seven-year delay, and presented an appeal with doubtful merit.
The application for leave to extend time was dismissed.
