On principles guiding consideration of application for extension of time

When a court is invited to make an order extending the time prescribed by the rules of court for taking certain procedural steps it must be borne in mind that such rules of court must be obeyed. if there is default in taking the procedural steps within the prescribed period a court order extending such period being a discretionary one there must be some material upon which to base the execrise of that discretion.
See Williams v.Hope Rising Voluntary Funds Society (1982)1-2 SC 145
