[2001] QCA 118

[2001] QCA 118

COURT OF APPEAL

THOMAS JA
BYRNE J
DUTNEY J

Appeal No 6112 of 2000

ERIC BUCKLEY  Appellant (Defendant)

v.

DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF TAXATION      Respondent (Plaintiff)

BRISBANE

..DATE 27/03/2001

ORDER

THOMAS JA:  The order of the Court is that the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.  The appellant is ordered to pay the respondent's costs of and incidental to the appeal.

I would also direct that the registrar call on Messrs Rea & Sockhill for an explanation of their conduct in failing to inform the Court that they were no longer acting in this matter.  I may say that the Court has been inconvenienced by their omission to observe the usual courtesies.
