REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

1                     In this matter on 20 February 2004 I ordered that the application for orders nisi be refused for reasons that I delivered on that day.  The applicant has now filed a motion seeking that the proceeding dismissed on 20 February 2004 be reinstated.  I do not know what the applicant means by asking that the proceeding be ‘reinstated’.  No good reason has been advanced as to why I should reconsider the order that I made after full argument on 20 February 2004. 

2                     The affidavit filed in support of the motion is misleading in that it suggests that the matter was disposed of by consent.  I consider that this motion is quite misconceived and should be dismissed. 


I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Emmett.
