The court found that while the plaintiff's case was dismissed for non-attendance and there was evidence of service on his advocate, the interests of justice warranted giving the plaintiff one final opportunity to prosecute his claim. The court exercised its discretion to reinstate the suit, emphasizing that justice must be served for both parties and that the plaintiff must act promptly by obtaining a hearing date within 30 days. The court relied on established principles that reinstatement is a matter of justice and depends on the circumstances, including the conduct of the parties and the reasons for delay. The court also noted that the plaintiff should not be unduly punished for his advocate's failures, provided he now acts diligently.
