The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal against the District Court's decision not to reinstate the proceedings. The defendant had previously been absent from a trial, resulting in a default judgment, and now sought to restart the case. The court ruled that the defendant's failure to appear justified the initial default judgment and precluded reinstatement.
