The court dismissed the action under Order 19, rule 1 because the plaintiffs, having had nearly six months since issue and an extension to serve their statement of claim, failed to serve it, failed to prosecute diligently after obtaining a Mareva injunction and failed to give any explanation for the default, demonstrating loss of interest in prosecuting the action; costs were awarded to the defendants on an indemnity basis summarily assessed at $99,432.
