While Rules of Court are not to be taken lightly, it is significant that Order 3 Rule 4(1) confers on the Court a discretion to grant an extension of time \'93on such terms as it thinks just\'94
 even  after the expiry of  the period of time stipulated by the Rules on an order of Court.

[15] It is clear to this Court that the Appellant has in fact used a format for the Notice of Appeal which required the Registry to allocate a date on it. Having filed the Notice of Appeal in the said format, th
e Appellant cannot now blame the Registry for the delay or failure in serving the Notice of Appeal on the Respondent within the stipulated time frame. On 9 March 2016, this Court made specific directions that the Notice of Appeal should be filed and serve
d 7 days from the 9 March 2016. This meant that it was incumbent on the Appellant to both file (in the Registry) and serve (on the Respondent) the notice of Appeal on or before 16 March 2016. However, in this instance the Appellant has failed to do so.

 served, this Court can and ought to exercise its discretion and extend the time given to the Appellant to serve its Notice of Appeal on the Respondent. Court cannot agree with this submission. There is a specific provision in the High Court Rules, namely
 Order 59 Rule 10, under which such applications for extension of time for filing and serving of Notice of Appeal has to be made, as was done by the Applicant earlier in these proceedings.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\f0\fs24\insrsid8091091 \'94

As has been stated above, the appeal in the present case involves procedural matters. The High Court as well as the Court of Appeal had decided that the Petitioner had failed to comply with the order given by Court and that has been the basis 
for the dismissal of the Petitioner\rquote s case. It is a matter which relates to the interests of the two parties and does not give rise to a matter that is otherwise of substantial general interest to the administration of civil justice.

. Nonetheless, what this all amounts to in this particular case is the refusal to extend time for service of a notice of appeal where service was a mere three days out of time, where the noti
ce of appeal was filed in the time stipulated, where the judge had held that, prima facie, the prospective appeal had merit and where it is impossible to discern that Formscaff could have been in the least prejudiced by an extension. To refuse in these ci

\f0\fs24\insrsid8392020\charrsid5134842 Whilst the instant case is one of not complying with a court stipulated time 
frame rather than with one stipulated by the rules, the same general approach seems to me to be apt, which is not to say that a court order is to be treated lightly. It is important to recognise that Order 3 rule 4 itself contemplates extensions of time t
o comply with such orders, even where the application is made after expiry of the time stipulated.  Applying this approach to the instant case, it seems to me to be clear that time should have been extended.

he fact that no summons was issued under Order 59 rule 10 mattered not in the circumstances of the case. An application for extension of time had obviously been made and if the absence of a summons was thought to be problematic, the order extending time c
o
uld have been made on an undertaking by ESB to file the requisite form within a stipulated time. At the end of the day one is talking of a mere three day default with no consequential prejudice to the other party and it seems to me that the refusal to ext
end time does not accord with the principles underlying Order 3 rule 4. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid8392020

\f0\fs24\insrsid8392020\charrsid5134842 On the question whether this Court has jurisdiction to grant leave, I agree that the grounds as formulated are too fact specific readily to fit into one of the grounds warranting
 leave under section 7 (3) of the Supreme Court Act but the reality is that there is implicit in them and in the arguments raised an issue which is of substantial general interest to the administration of civil justice, namely, the proper approach to Rule
 3 rule 4 of the Rules of the High Court.
