                               REASONS FOR ORDER

                     (Delivered from the bench at Montréal

                         on Tuesday, January 14, 1997)

 

 

HUGESSEN J.A.

 

         It is established that the applicant’s application record was served outside the time set by Rule 1606(1)(b).  In response to the respondent’s application to dismiss, the applicant did not file an application for an extension of time.  Counsel for the applicant sought to make an oral application for such an extension at the hearing, but in our view such an application cannot be entertained where no affidavit has been filed explaining the reasons for the delay and the chance that the application for judicial review will be successful.  That being the case, the application for judicial review must be dismissed on the ground that it was brought improperly.
