The court extended the plaintiffs' time to file evidence and vacated and refixed the hearing date because plaintiffs failed to apply for an extension earlier and did not propose alternative dates when seeking to vacate; the defendant was given liberty to restore to apply under O.28 r.10 if plaintiffs failed to comply, reinforcing that dismissal is the appropriate remedy for failure to prosecute rather than forcing an unready hearing.
