Why do you need more than 24 days?

Echo the above, your case should have been fully prepared before taking it to the ombudsman in the first place, you had up to 6 months to do that.

The 24 days should just be to respond to the comments they have raised but it really should just be fine tuning.

At the end of the day the ombudsman is not binding on you and so if you cannot meet their timescales you are still free to go down the legal route and issue court proceedings. Be aware there too though you need to prep first not issue first and then think about what you need afterwards.

Your appeal should really be based on that the ruling has not taken x point into consideration or not correctly addressed y and not thinking of new points to be looked at.

The FOS don't give you information on how they work, that would make it too easy!
There are lots of posts on this forum about banks being given months to submit material (i.e. because they ignore FOS correspondence and submit when allocated to an ombudsman).
In normal circumstances, it would take months for Ombudsman allocation so you could submit material now and more later.
However, the FOS could screw you over and say a final decision has already been produced at point of submitting more material.
You could close your case and re-open it. A couple of years ago, the FOS re-opened cases that had been closed for a couple of months.
The problem is whenever you get into dialogue or contest anything to do with operations, you end up losing your case.
