period allowed by statute within which extension could be granted is 3 months.<o:p></o:p>To succeed in an application for extension of time

application for extension of time in which to appeal shall be made after the
expiration of three months from the expiration of the time prescribed by this
rule within which an appeal may be brought. <o:p></o:p>(5) An
application for extension of time must be supported by an affidavit setting out
good and substantial reasons for the application and grounds of appeal which
prima facie, show good cause for the extension of time to be granted.”<o:p></o:p>The decision the applicant herein is seeking to
appeal against is not attached to this application but per the attached court

dismissed.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p>
