Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

THE discourtesy of applicants who withdraw cases at the last minute was referred to again at Nottingham, on Monday. Told that an application by C. Brown and Sons (Ilkeston), Ltd., for the variation of a El licence had been withdrawn that morning without warning to the objectors, Mr. C. Hodgson, East Midlands Licensing Authority, said he held strong views on such conduct and was sorry he was unable to award costs.

A note would be made, and the next time the company appeared he would have something to say. In the meantime, a letter would be forwarded informing them of the Authority's dissatisfaction..

An application by Mr. N. F. Upton, Kilburn, Derbyshire, to vary a contract A licence was refused. Mr. Hodgson said he had listed the application, for inquiry following convictions against Mr. Upton for the misuse of his vehicle. Despite notice by registered letter, Mr. Upton had not appeared. After the non-appearance of the parties in an application by Mr. J. Meakin. Ilkeston, Derbys, to take over from Mr. W. Sadler, West Hallam, a 3+-ton B-licensed tipper, Mr. Hodgson commented that he had reason to believe that the business was already being operated by the purchaser. Mr. Meakin would be instructed to attend an inquiry into the matter.
