The Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's appeal against the refusal to allow a lawyer's written submission. The applicant argued that the submission was necessary, but the opposing party contended that the client's death rendered the submission moot. The court held that the procedural outcome was correct because the client's death prior to the hearing invalidated the necessity of the submission.
