and

ALEC R MEMMEL Respondent

REVELAS J:

1. In this matter I have considered an application for condonation for the respondent’s answering affidavit. The delay is substantial, but it is not excessive. The prospects of success in succeeding in review application has been prima facie demonstrated by the respondent, (the applicant in the condonation application), and in the circumstances I believe that it would be fair if I were to grant condonation, particularly as the explanation for the delay was caused partially by ill-health.

1. 2. The condonation for the late filing of the opposing papers is thus granted and the application to have the award made an order of court is dismissed.
