Summary:
While it recognized that the Commission had a discretion in the matter (extension of the time to appeal), the FCA drew the Commission's attention to factors such as the seriousness of a determination that false or misleading statements had been made, the amount of penalty imposed and the fact that there was a delay of only one month after the time limit for the appeal. The FCA viewed all these as "special reasons" to be taken into account by the Commission in exercising its discretion.

Summary:
The delay, it is suggested, is not substantial. Certainly, the length of the delay is an important factor to be considered, but it would be quite inappropriate for me to accept it as the sole factor to be examined. Indeed, it is only one of several factors. The most important is the reason given.
