   ...intention to challenge is minimal. [19] There is no prejudice to Mr Kirkwood arising from the period between the expiry of the 28 days and the bringing to his notice of the intention to challenge. Although, as with most litigants who learn of an appeal brought right at the end of the period within which it may be by right and asserting prejudice by reason of delay of finality, Mr Kirkwood cannot in truth be said to have been prejudiced by the short delay, at least in a way that can...
