Case summary

The court observed that the court had erred when it overlooked a rule and misconstrued it as in its plain language it envisaged reinstatement of the appeal after lapse of time and stated that the Court may, for sufficient reason extend the time limited by the rules or by any decision of the Court or of the High Court for the doing of any act authorised or required by the rules, whether before or after the expiration of that time and whether before or after the doing of the act; and any reference in these rules to any such time shall be construed as a reference to the time as so extended. The appeal was allowed and the appeal was reinstated.
