LORD JUSTICE BUXTON: This is an application for permission to appeal against the judgment of His Honour Judge Holt in the Ipswich County Court, dated as long ago as 11th November 1999. It will be apparent from that chronology that this application, which was not in fact made until 22nd June 2001, is in any event very substantially out of time; and I would say now that no adequate explanation has been given for that.

Today the applicant has not attended to move this application. No explanation has been given for that, and I see no reason to indulge him further. The application is therefore dismissed for want of prosecution.

Order: Application dismissed.
