REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
1 Before the Court is a motion, notice of which was given by the appellant on 30 December 2008, seeking reinstatement of his appeal which had been dismissed on 8 December 2008 for non-appearance.
2 The appellant failed to originally appear on 2 March 2009 to pursue the motion for reinstatement. On that day, the motion was adjourned until today, 30 March 2009.
3 The appellant has yet again failed to appear to pursue the motion for reinstatement. On the basis of his failure to appear, the motion for reinstatement is dismissed. In the circumstances, it is unnecessary to deal with the respondent’s motion filed on 20 February 2009 seeking that the appeal be dismissed as incompetent.
