The court granted an absolute exemption under Rule 13 because it was satisfied on the evidence that the underlying purpose of Form 4—demonstrating satisfactory traineeship and fitness to practise—was fulfilled by other evidence and that there was a cogent reason for inability to produce the Form (the principal's unreasonable refusal), thereby rendering the failure to deliver the physical Form a mere formality.
