—(1) If on any day fixed for the hearing of an appeal, the appellant does not appear in person or by an advocate, the appeal may be dismissed.
(2) If the appellant appears, and any respondent fails to appear, either in person or by an advocate, the appeal shall proceed in the absence of such respondent, unless the Court for any sufficient reason sees fit to adjourn the hearing thereof.
(3) Where any appeal is dismissed or allowed under paragraph (1) or (2), the party who was absent may apply to the Court of Appeal for the rehearing of the appeal and where it is proved that there was sufficient reason for the absence of such party, the Court of Appeal may order that the appeal be restored for hearing upon such terms as to costs or otherwise as it thinks fit.
