Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant's application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court was deemed abandoned by the Registrar for failure to file a certificate of service. The applicant sought reinstatement of the application under Rule 36, but the founding affidavit incorrectly stated the reason for abandonment as failure to file heads of argument instead of failure to file certificate of service.
