What justification is required to excuse a delay of a period of time?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from 1395047 Ontario Inc. v. 1548951 Ontario Ltd., 2006 FC 339 (CanLII):
In a case such as the present where the period of time is fixed by a peremptory order, the justification required to excuse the delay is set at a very high level and requires a clear demonstration that there was no intention to ignore the order and that the failure to obey was due to extraneous circumstances. See Sarasin Consultadoria E. Services LDA v. Roox's Inc., 2003 Carswell Nat 2577, 2003 FC 1010.
