- Case number
- DCCJ5416/2009
The applications to dismiss for want of prosecution were dismissed because the court found the eight-month period from possible limitation expiry to service was satisfactorily explained (waiting for related judgment and potential additional claimants, preparation of pleadings and correspondence), did not amount to inordinate or inexcusable delay post-CJR, did not constitute warehousing, and discretionary considerations (including lack of demonstrable prejudice and compliance with service within 12 months) weighed against striking out.
