36 Want of prosecution
(1) Where an appellant has not done any act required to be done by or under these Rules, or otherwise has not prosecuted the appeal with due diligence, the Court may:
(a) order that the appeal shall be dismissed for want of prosecution;
(b) fix a time peremptorily for the doing of the act and at the same time order that upon non-compliance the appeal shall stand dismissed for want of prosecution, or subsequently and in the event of non-compliance, order that it be so dismissed; or
(c) make any other order as may seem just.
(2) A respondent may move on notice for an order under subrule (1), and the Court, after notice to the appellant has been given by the Registrar, may make orders in accordance with subrule (1) of its own motion.
(3) An order under paragraph (1) (b) may be varied at any time before the appeal stands dismissed for want of prosecution, and in special circumstances may be varied or revoked after that time.
