Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant obtained an order for reinstatement or damages in 2010. In 2015 his application for quantification of damages was struck off the roll for non-compliance with Rule 19(3)(b), barring him. He failed to cure the defect within 30 days. In 2017 he unsuccessfully applied for rescission, which was withdrawn. In 2021 he applied for reinstatement of the quantification application without seeking condonation.
