Defendant's explanation for non-attendance was not reasonable because the adjourned date was given in open court and no timely prompt was required; two subpoenas were unnecessary as plaintiff agreed to call the witnesses and had applied for subpoenas, the appeal/leave application was out of time and lacked reasonable prospects, and the third subpoena failed because the defendant made no attempt to contact the proposed witness; accordingly the restoration application was refused and costs awarded to the plaintiff.
