The Dismissal Order was set aside because service at the defunct solicitors' address was not valid; however, both actions were struck out against the respective 2nd defendants (Tang and Cheng) because the plaintiff's 15‑year delay was inordinate and inexcusable, amounted to abuse of the court's process (no intention to prosecute and warehousing), and caused prejudice rendering a fair trial impossible; the amendment application was refused.
