The moving party sought an extension of time to serve and file a notice of appeal from a judgment under the Construction Act.
The moving party's former counsel mistakenly believed the appeal period was 30 days under the Rules of Civil Procedure, rather than the 15 days prescribed by the Construction Act.
The court granted the extension, finding that the moving party had a bona fide intention to appeal, the 14-day delay was explained by counsel's inadvertence, there was no prejudice to the responding parties, and the proposed appeal was not devoid of merit.
