The defendant prayed for extension of time to apply for extension of time to file WSD out of the statutory twenty-one days, and extension of time to file WSD. In the present case, the defendant cited two reasons for the delay. The fact that the summons was received by a junior officer of the defendant who neglected to bring it to the attention of the principal officers until the first twenty-one days had expired; and secondly, that the principal officers, on their part, did not consult their lawyer, until after the expiry of the next twenty-one days. The summons does not show when the same was served, and that the date of service probably appears only in the Plaintiff’s dispatch book.
