Adjournment application by registered post justified recall of earlier order and restoration of the appeal for fresh hearing.

An adjournment application supported by a registered post receipt was accepted as having been sent, although it had not been noticed when the earlier order was made. That omission was treated as sufficient cause to recall the earlier order and restore the appeal for a fresh hearing. The matter was therefore revived and fixed for hearing again.

Issues: Whether the Tribunal's earlier order should be recalled on the ground that an adjournment application sent by registered post had not been taken into account, and whether the matter should be restored for hearing.

Analysis: The application for adjournment was supported by the registration receipt, and the Tribunal accepted that the communication had been sent though it had not been noticed on the earlier occasion. In these circumstances, the omission was treated as a sufficient basis to recall the earlier order and revive the appeal for fresh hearing.

Conclusion: The earlier order was recalled and the case was fixed for hearing again.
