AI Generated Summary

This case concerns an appeal against the Court of Appeal's decision to decline a motion for relistment. The appellant's original motion for substitution was struck out on 9/10/2012, and they filed a motion for relistment on 26/8/2013, nearly a year later. The Supreme Court found that due to this "aggravated tardiness," the Court of Appeal was correct in declining the motion for relistment. As a result, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, finding no merit in it. The court made no order as to costs. The case highlights the importance of timely filing in legal proceedings and the courts' discretion in managing their dockets.
