Article 41 Extension of time limit

Where under these Rules the appellate authority is required to decide or determine an appeal or to provide written notice of the determination at or within a time prescribed, the authority may if necessary extend the time so prescribed either to enable it fairly to make the decision or determination or (as the case may be) to provide the notice.

A special adjudicator shall not extend the time limit for giving notice of appeal except where it is in the interests of justice and he is satisfied that the party in default was prevented from complying with the time limit by circumstances beyond his control.

An extension may be made notwithstanding that the time limit in any case has already expired.
