It dismissed the appeal with costs, including the costs of two counsel, after finding that the full court had not materially misdirected itself. The judgment discusses the delay in seeking an appeal date, the practice directive relied on by the appellants, and the court’s approach to the explanation for non-compliance with the rules.
