Pettenburger-Perwald and Another v Bayport Financial Services (Pty) Ltd and Others (NCT/10293/2013/148(1)P) [2013] ZANCT 60 (11 December 2013)

Pettenburger-Perwald and Another v Bayport Financial Services (Pty) Ltd and Others (NCT/10293/2013/148(1)P) [2013] ZANCT 60 (11 December 2013)

The Tribunal found that the appellants failed to comply with the procedural requirements for lodging an appeal as set out in Rule 26(5) and 26(6) of the Tribunal Rules. Furthermore, neither the appellants nor their representatives attended the hearing, despite proper notification of the date, time, and venue. In accordance with Rule 24(1), the Tribunal was satisfied that the parties had been duly notified and, in the absence of any formal application for postponement or withdrawal, dismissed the appeal. The procedural non-compliance and non-appearance justified the dismissal of the appeal.
