Facts of the Case

Background

The applicants lodged an appeal against a High Court decision setting aside an arbitral award. Their appeal was deemed dismissed for failure to pay costs for the preparation of the record within the prescribed time. They subsequently applied for reinstatement of the appeal and condonation for the delay. The Supreme Court struck the application off the roll because the applicants failed to formally apply for condonation for non-compliance with the court rules before seeking reinstatement.
