Summary: The Court of Appeal judge-rapporteur rejected the appellants' R. 9.3(a) RoP applications for a one-month extension (to 9 December 2026) of the deadline for lodging the statements of grounds of appeal in three appeals. Workload and school-holiday absences were held foreseeable and not to justify an extension.
