Appeal allowed and master's striking out set aside: despite inordinate delay and potential abuse, dismissal was not the appropriate exercise of discretion because limitation had not expired, the plaintiff was likely to recommence proceedings, and more good would be achieved by transferring the action to the District Court with strict directions to prevent further delay rather than dismissing and thereby prematurely releasing Labour Tribunal funds.
