The appeal was dismissed because the appellant failed to prove, on the balance of probabilities, that any alleged inordinate and inexcusable delay by the plaintiffs caused serious financial prejudice to the defendant (there was no demonstrated causal nexus that judgment would have been obtained before the reinsurers' liquidations); therefore dismissal for want of prosecution was not justified.
