Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant sought reinstatement of his appeal which was removed from the roll for failing to file heads of argument on time. The respondent opposed, raising preliminary points regarding the use of the wrong form for the chamber application and the lack of a condonation application. The court struck the application off the roll for non-compliance with peremptory rules.
