The plaintiff warehoused the balance of its claim and failed for over 14 years to take steps to obtain final judgment or otherwise resolve the claim; this constituted an inordinate and inexcusable delay amounting to an abuse of the court's process such that striking out the action for want of prosecution was justified; proof of abuse made prejudice unnecessary to establish.
