On 5th March 2008, by consent of both Counsel for Appellant and Respondent, it was agreed that the Appeal would be disposed of by the way of written submissions. On the date, the court scheduled the submissions dates accordingly. The Appellant was ordered to file his written submissions by 9th April 2008 and the Respondent by 30th April 2008 and rejoinder, if any, by 14th May 2008. Nevertheless, after four years later, that is, on 2nd March 2012, no submissions had been filed. The High Court considered the propriety of the parties’ inaction especially the Appellant’s failure to file submissions although he was supposed to file his submissions first so that the Respondent could reply.
