    Plaintiff was aware of the pre-trial review but failed to attend and did not apply for adjournment by summons and affidavit; the reasons given in a letter did not constitute sufficient cause preventing attendance and therefore under Order 25 r.4(1) the court will temporarily strike out the plaintiff's claim, vacate the trial dates and order costs to be in the cause.
