What is the reason given to a community for failing to meet a 25 day deadline?

Nova Scotia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Dicks v. Nova Scotia (Elevators and Lifts), 2015 NSSC 362 (CanLII):

I do not consider this reason to be a good excuse for having missed this deadline so significantly. I quote from the court’s comments in Rockwood Community Association v. HRM 2011 NSSC 91: “The 25 day time limit should not easily be displaced without a significant excuse or reason for the delay.” I do not consider that what was done here is a reasonable excuse for the delay of 6 months.
