- District Court
- Case number
- DCPI76/2002
The Defendant's strike out application for want of prosecution was dismissed because the Defendant failed to provide credible, specific evidence of the nature and extent of prejudice caused by the long delay; in the absence of sufficient material detailing available evidence, the court would speculate about prejudice and could not exercise its discretion to dismiss. The Plaintiff was granted a 14‑day extension to file the Statement of Claim and Statement of Damages, with specific costs directions.
