REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 In this matter the appellant was called outside the Court. There was no appearance by the appellant. I am informed that the solicitor for the first respondent then telephoned the appellant on the telephone number contained on his notice of appeal and was greeted by a message that the service was switched off. The solicitor for the first respondent has given evidence that attempts to contact the appellant at the address he gave for service have, following a successful delivery on 18 June 2007, been met on two subsequent occasions with the envelope in which the letters were contained being returned with a notation to the effect that the appellant no longer lived at the address. 2 I am satisfied the appellant had notice of the hearing appointed for today. In those circumstances the first respondent asks that I make an order dismissing the appeal for failure of the appellant to attend. In my opinion such an order should be made with costs. I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Rares.
