The judge held that the first three periods of delay were inordinate and inexcusable but did not cause serious prejudice to the defendants; the fourth period was not inordinate and was excusable considering both parties' conduct. On balance and in the exercise of discretion the action should not be struck out for delay or abuse of process, but the plaintiff was ordered to file a summons for directions within 10 days failing which the action will stand dismissed.
