Background

Applicants sought condonation for late filing of appeal against an arbitral award issued on 23rd September, 2013. The application was filed on 2nd May, 2014, resulting in a 7-month delay. The applicants had previously filed a review application which was dismissed on 28th March, 2014. The court found the delay inordinate and unexplained for part of the period, and found no prospects of success on appeal.
