PERREN & PERREN

In *Perren & Perren*, Foster J of the Supreme Court of New South Wales considered an application by a husband for an extension of time to file a Notice of Appeal. The appeal sought to challenge orders made by the Local Court of New South Wales on 26 September 2017.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether to grant the applicant husband an extension of time to file his Notice of Appeal. This required the Court to consider the relevant principles governing applications for extensions of time in the appellate jurisdiction, including the applicant's prospects of success and the reasons for the delay.

Foster J granted the extension of time, ordering that the applicant husband have until the close of business on the seventh day after the date of the orders to file his Notice of Appeal. The precise form of this order was subject to its formal entry into the Court's records.
