The Notice of Originating Motion for leave to appeal was struck out because the plaintiff unacceptably and inexcusably failed to prosecute the application expeditiously (long unexplained delay, failure to serve required affidavit, failure to fix hearing date), and under the Arbitration Ordinance and established authority (Euston) speed and finality in arbitration permit striking out for want of prosecution without proof of prejudice.
