Registry defect in filing copies led to dismissal of departmental appeals after repeated non-compliance with procedural requirements.

Repeated failure to cure a registry defect in filing the requisite number of copies justified dismissal of the departmental appeals. The deficiency remained uncured for a prolonged period despite notice, further notice, and an adjournment, and the appellant did not comply with the applicable procedural requirement. In these circumstances, no further adjournment was warranted and the request for continued indulgence was rejected. The appeals were dismissed for non-compliance with the procedural rules governing filing requirements.

Issues: Whether the departmental appeals were liable to be dismissed for failure to cure the registry defect in filing the requisite number of copies.

Analysis: The appeals remained defective for a prolonged period despite notice and repeated opportunities. The registry pointed out the deficiency, further notice was issued, and even after an adjournment the defect was not remedied. In these circumstances, no further adjournment was warranted and the appellant's request could not be accepted.

Conclusion: The appeals were dismissed for non-compliance with the procedural requirement under the applicable procedure rules.
