RULING
1. Before me is a Notice of Motion application for extension of time to file and serve a Notice of Appeal in an intended appeal against the judgment and decree of the Employment and Labour Relations Court delivered on 24th January 2019. The Motion is dated 20th July 2019 and was filed on 23rd July 2019.
2. The grounds in support of the Motion as stated on the face thereof is that a Notice of Appeal dated 27th June 2019 was lodged at the Employment and Labour Relations Court four (4) months and 21 days out of the time prescribed by the rules of this Court. That non-compliance with the rules was occasioned by circumstances beyond the control of the applicants. That the applicants have an arguable appeal with a high probability of success. That no prejudice will be suffered by the respondent if leave to extend time is granted.
3. The affidavit in support of the Motion is deposed by Rt. Rev. James Obunde who explains the circumstances that led to delay in lodging the Notice of Appeal.…
