The addresses used in all cases were those which had been supplied to the Court by the parties and which had previously been the basis of correspondence with the parties in relation to the appeal. The Court is satisfied that both parties were properly and adequately notified of the date, time and place of the hearing of the within appeal.

The Respondent attended the hearing of the Court. Neither the Appellant nor his representative attended the hearing. As the Appellant was not present to move the appeal the appeal must fail. The Decision of the Adjudication Officer is affirmed.

The Court so Determines.
