1. A Party to the proceedings may apply to a Tribunal to condone late filing of a document, or to request an extension of time to file such a document, by filing a request with the Tribunal.

 

2. The request referred to in sub-rule 25(1) above must also be served on any other Party to Tribunal proceedings to afford the other Party an opportunity to consent or object to such a request.

 

3. The Tribunal shall consider the application and make a determination, taking into account:
(a) the degree of lateness;
(b) the reasons for delay;
(c) whether granting condonation is in the interest of justice; and
(d) whether the late filing will not unduly prejudice the other party to the proceedings or otherwise prejudice the public interest.
