High Court, in long-running solicitor's disciplinary proceedings, dismisses an application to extend time to appeal a consent order, on the grounds that the appellant had not established good reasons for the lengthy delay which spanned several years, and did not provide a basis for arguing that the consent was not validly given.
Appeal - consent order - application for extension of time - respondent wrongfully failed to disclose documents and evidence which would have affected the appellant's consent to the order - discovery of new evidence - explain delay - establish arguability - limited scope for appealing consent orders - need for vitiating factor - application dismissed.
