REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 The appellant filed a notice of appeal which, although alleging error in the learned Federal Magistrate, did not identify the nature of that error. The notice of appeal indicated that details of his Honour's error would be given once the appellant received the written decision from the Federal Magistrates Court. No amended notice of appeal has been filed. Nor has the appellant filed any written submissions in support of her appeal. 2 The appeal was listed for hearing today at 2:15 pm. The appellant was not present in Court at that time, nor was the court officer able to find her when the court officer attended the registry. The appellant was called again at approximately 2:30 pm and did not respond to the call. 3 I am satisfied that advice in writing of the time, place and date of the hearing of this appeal was sent to the appellant, at the address given on her notice of appeal, both by the Court and by the legal representatives of the first respondent. 4 Counsel for the first respondent has invited the Court to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution in reliance on s 25(2B)(ba) of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth). In the circumstances I consider it appropriate to accede to that request. The appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. It is ordered that the appellant pay the first respondent's costs. I certify that the preceding four (4) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Branson.
