Defendant did not demonstrate inordinate delay or non-compliance with Order 28 r7(2) because she promptly commenced related proceedings and expressly proposed conversion; therefore the counterclaim was not struck out. Because there are factual disputes requiring pleadings and discovery, the originating summons proceedings should be converted to a writ and specific directions for pleadings and costs were ordered.
