Holding

The application was called for hearing on a date reflected on the ECCMIS system. All parties failed to appear and no reason was given for their non-attendance. The court accordingly dismissed the application under Order 9 rule 17 of the Civil Procedure Rules, which permits dismissal of a matter where neither party appears when the suit is called on for hearing. No costs order was made and no substantive question of law was determined.

Outcome

Application dismissed for non-appearance of all parties
