RESPONDENT
JUDGMENT
LAMONT,
J and MEYER. J and HARRISON AJ CONCURRING.
1.
This is an application
for
leave
to
appeal. The
application
for leave to
appeal was brought after the expiry
of
the time
limit
and there
is
an application for condonation
for the
failure to bring the application
in
time.
The
application for
condonation
is
granted,
there
being no
opposition and no prejudice to the respondent.
There
is
no
reasonable prospect
of
another
court
coming
to
a
different
conclusion
than
this court did and no other
compelling
reason to
grant leave to appeal. For these reasons the application for
leave
to appeal is
dismissed
.
