Whether the appeal against the justice of peace decision was filed within the statutory 10-day deadline.
The appeal was filed after the deadline expired and was therefore late.
The decision was notified on 23 February 2012; the 10-day period expired on 4 March 2012 and, because this was a Sunday, extended to Monday 5 March 2012. The appeal letter dated 6 March and posted on 8 March was late.
