Key legal question
Whether the Supreme Court appeal was timely for the 28 December 2007 filing and untimely for later filings
Extracted holding
The 18 February and 26 March 2008 submissions were late, but the 28 December 2007 submission was timely.
Extracted reasoning
The appeal period ran from 3 January 2008 and expired on 1 February 2008; only the 28 December 2007 filing fell within time, while the later letters could not justify restitution of time.
