The court found the plaintiffs were not guilty of inordinate or inexcusable delay; the steps taken to obtain witness evidence justified the period of activity; any prejudice to the 1st defendant was not shown to be such as to make a fair trial impossible; limitation and non‑compliance arguments did not warrant striking out on the material before the court; accordingly the summons to strike out for want of prosecution was dismissed and costs were to follow the event with an order nisi in favour of the plaintiffs for the application costs.
