The action was dismissed because the plaintiff failed for over five years to comply with the Setdown Order without satisfactory explanation, giving rise to the inference he had no genuine intention to proceed, and that continued delay would materially prejudice the defendant; dismissal for abuse of process was therefore a proper exercise of the court's discretion and costs were awarded and ordered taxed under the Legal Aid Regulations.
