The judge properly exercised his discretion in refusing relief from the strike‑out sanctions because the 1st defendant repeatedly and intentionally failed to comply with multiple court orders including consent unless orders, the outstanding particulars were central to the dispute, the breach was contumelious not attributable solely to solicitors, and striking out was a proportionate last indulgence; the appeal must therefore be dismissed.
