The appeal is dismissed. The court upheld the strike out of the statement of claim and dismissal of the action for want of prosecution due to inordinate, inexcusable delay and abuse of process; the proposed amendment to add the father as plaintiff was refused because the limitation period had expired and the addition did not satisfy O.15 r.6 or the correction/alteration tests in O.20 r.5; the correction summons was not restored and the costs order nisi for the defendant was made.
