Précis: The taxpayer’s appeal was dismissed when it failed to send a representative to attend a status hearing. The dismissal came after a somewhat involved history of non-compliance by the taxpayer. The taxpayer retained new counsel who moved to extend the time to file a motion to set aside the judgment of dismissal and, if successful, to set aside the judgment of dismissal. Chief Justice Rossiter dismissed the application in view of the prejudice to the Crown and the absence of a credible explanation of the taxpayer’s preceding delay. There was no order as to costs.
