The Court of Appeal upheld the District Court's decision to reopen the proceedings. The appellant argued that their illness prevented participation in a scheduled phone meeting, yet the court found no valid grounds to suspend the process. Consequently, the appeal was rejected because the procedural defect did not justify reopening the case.
