There is a delay of 861 days in preferring the appeal.
The primary ground made out is that the appellant acted on erroneous advice. However, a serious objection is put up by the respondent, including the ground that the appellant had already acted in terms of the order and, thus, can no longer prefer an appeal thereagainst.
Without prejudice to the respondent's contention that the conduct of the appellant precludes the appellant from filing or proceeding with the appeal, in view of the sufficient cause shown, the delay in preferring the appeal is condoned. Let the appeal appear for appropriate consideration a week hence.
MC (WA) No. 66 of 2016 is disposed of.
List the appeal on December 1, 2021.
