REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

1 In this matter there has been no appearance by the applicant and the material before the Court indicates that he was aware of the hearing to date. Accordingly, I have been asked by the respondent to make an order under O 32 r 2(1)(c) of the Federal Court Rules ("FCR") dismissing the proceeding in light of the default of appearance by the applicant. I make such an order and I direct that the applicant be notified of the making of the order. I also direct that reference be made to O 35 r 7 of the FCR and a copy of that rule be sent to the applicant with the letter of notification of the orders which I make today.

2 Accordingly, I dismiss the application 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 Tamberlin.
