Cochrane v Peteranel & Morton

In *Cochrane v Peteranel & Morton*, Registrar Jupp of the Supreme Court of Queensland considered an application for an extension of time to file notices of appeal. The claimant sought this extension against the respondents, Peteranel & Morton.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether to grant the claimant an extension of time to file their notices of appeal. This required the Court to assess the merits of the proposed appeal and the reasons for the delay in filing the notices.

Registrar Jupp granted the extension of time, ordering that the notices of appeal be filed by 28 August 1998. The claimant was ordered to pay the respondents' costs of the motions, with a further direction that these costs were to be borne by the claimant's legal representatives.
