Civil procedure – unless order – failure to lodge appeal bundles – application for leave to appeal to Court of Final Appeal – relief from sanction – failure to comply with court directions – detention – address update – The applicant failed to comply with an unless order requiring him to lodge appeal bundles, resulting in dismissal of his appeal. He applied for leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal, but failed to apply for relief from sanction or provide supporting materials despite multiple directions. The court held that the unless order was properly made as failure to prosecute the appeal with due diligence. The applicant did not keep the court informed of his address, and his grounds for leave were not reasonably arguable. The Notice of Motion was dismissed.
Legal issues: Leave to appeal against unless order
