an application to join or remove a party to an appeal;
an application for leave to amend the grounds of an appeal;

a failure to comply with a direction of the Court; or
a failure to attend a hearing related to the appeal; or
want of prosecution;
an application to make or vary an order for costs;

An application under subrule (1) may be heard and determined by a single Judge—see sections 25(2) and (2B) of the Act.
