REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
1 In this matter there has been no appearance by the applicant. I have read the affidavit of Mr Cramer and am satisfied that the applicant was aware of the hearing today.
2 The orders I make are as follows:
1. the application for and extension of time to file and serve a notice of appeal be dismissed pursuant s 25 (2B) (bb) (ii) of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth).
2. the order of the Court today not be entered before the expiry of 21 days after the sending the respondent to the applicant a letter by registered post informing him of the order of the Court that was made by reason of his non attendance at the hearing today.
3. the applicant pay the respondent’s costs fixed at a sum of $1,000.00.
3 Mr Cramer has asked for the sum in the final order. I have perused the file and the steps have been taken by the solicitors. It seems to me that sum is a reasonable amount in all the circumstances and to avoid further costs I make that order.
