Exemption from personal attendance for admission requires special grounds and cogent evidence that either the underlying purpose of the attendance/formality is satisfied or that compliance is impossible; applicant's reliance on inconvenience and estimated costs without adequate evidence of undue hardship or inability to attend did not meet the required standard, so Rule 13 exemption was not justified and the application must be refused.
