Plaintiff failed to comply with procedural requirements and was unready to proceed; the alleged global settlement was unproven at the critical lodgment deadline and at hearing; it would be unfair to defendants to keep the appeal pending indefinitely while a new action to determine the settlement proceeded; accordingly the proper exercise of the court's discretion was to dismiss the appeal with costs to the defendants, leaving any remedy for an established settlement to be pursued as damages in separate proceedings.
