Condonation of delay refused for unexplained inordinate delay and lack of day-to-day account of default.

A 15-month delay in filing the appeal was not condoned because the appellant failed to give a sufficient explanation or a day-to-day account of the default. The reasons offered did not justify the inordinate delay, and the record indicated patent laches and negligence. The condonation application was therefore rejected.
