The Respondent denies that there was a prolonged and unreasonable delay in providing the Applicant with the information that would enable the Applicant prepare his Appeal. 153.

The Respondent further asserts that it does not have a record of the Applicant's Notice for Review therefore, the Applicant's contention that the hearing of his application for Review of the Court of Appeal's judgment cannot be maintained. 154.
