The summons was dismissed because the plaintiff failed to place adequate admissible materials before the Court (no supporting affidavit, improper reliance on prior affidavit of service and unsigned materials, and failure to lodge skeleton argument), and the asserted insolvency of the defendant could not be inferred solely from the fact that its solicitors ceased to act and it was unrepresented; the plaintiff therefore did not discharge the burden to show a good reason for discontinuance with costs in its favour.
