An ‘appointment not kept’ refers to a scheduled meeting or arrangement that is not fulfilled or honored by one or more parties involved. This can occur due to various reasons such as forgetfulness, conflicting priorities, or intentional disregard. It can result in inconvenience, disappointment, and potential consequences for the other party, especially if it involves professional or personal commitments. Failing to keep an appointment can also reflect negatively on one’s reliability and respect for others’ time. Therefore, it is important to communicate and reschedule in a timely manner if an appointment cannot be kept.
