However, I direct that a letter be sent to the last known address of the applicant within seven days notifying the applicant of these orders and also drawing attention to and enclosing a copy of O 35 r 7 of the Federal Court Rules. The order for dismissal is to take effect immediately. The purpose of directing attention to that rule is to enable the applicant, if ever the letter is received, to approach the Court under the provisions of O 35 r 7 if a case can be made out. I certify that the preceding one (1) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Tamberlin.
