Although the petitioner has not adduced any reasons in
 his undated letter received in the Registry of this Court on 6th November 2014 for his failure to lodge his appeal within time, at the hearing before this Court he stated that he was at the time in Maximum Security in connection with a previous convictio

The next matter for consideration is the length of the delay, which in this case is 141 days after the pronouncement of the Ruling sought to be appealed against. The Fiji Supreme Court h
as consistently held that a short period of delay may be disregarded by the Court if it thinks fit, but where a substantial interval of time elapses, it must not be taken for granted that an extension of time will be allowed as a matter of course without 
satisfactory reasons.
