    CACV172/2016

    The appeal was properly struck out for the appellant's failure to comply with the express court order to file and serve a skeleton argument and authorities list by the deadline; the appellant's reliance on earlier documents did not constitute compliance because those documents were not identified or relied upon as the required skeleton before the deadline; the respondent is entitled to costs which were assessed and reduced from the claimed amount to $82,628.40.
