Thus, the application is not opposed. The delay in lodging this application after the appeal was struck out on 26th February, 1999, has been explained to my satisfaction. I exercise my discretion in favour of the applicants and grant the application as prayed. The applicants are granted leave to appeal out of time. They shall file the Notice of Appeal within seven (7) days hereof and lodge the record of appeal within 21 days thereafter. Costs of this application shall abide the results of the intended appeal.
