The High Court has refused a defendant's application to extend the time to appeal a Possession Order, originally made by the County Registrar, due to a significant delay and the absence of a strong defense. The defendant, who is a full-time carer for her disabled husband and represented herself, failed to demonstrate that she had formed an intention to appeal within the required ten-day period following the order. Furthermore, the court found that her challenging domestic situation and status as a litigant in person did not meet the criteria for an extension under the established legal test.
