- CACV103/2004
The appeal was dismissed because the master correctly refused leave for the company to be represented by a director on appeal—the master lacked jurisdiction under the rules and, more importantly, it is unacceptable for a company with no assets to pursue an appeal in person because limited liability would likely prevent enforcement of costs; the request for an adjournment to raise funds was refused as the appellant had ample notice to arrange finances.
