Summary
Two applicants sought leave to apply out of time under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependents) Ordinance for financial provision from their deceased father's estate. The six-month statutory time limit had expired, and the applicants relied on alleged ignorance of their rights and previous family negotiations. The court dismissed the application for extension of time, finding no sufficient grounds to justify the delay, with costs to the respondents.
