Holding

The motion is dismissed with costs to the Respondent

Facts

The Claimants failed to appear for a hearing on June 15, 2021, and claimed they were unable to log in due to technical issues. The Respondent claimed the Claimants were ready to proceed but were not admitted due to lack of attendance.

Issues

  2. Whether the Respondent's opposition to the motion is justified

Reasoning

Outcome

Motion dismissed

Orders

  • Order to fix the matter for hearing on priority basis
  • Order to provide costs for the application
