The court exercised its discretion under Order 21 r 3(1) to allow the plaintiff to discontinue the action but ordered the discontinuance to be without liberty to file afresh because the defendants had become dominus litis, the matter was at an advanced stage with substantial preparation for trial, the plaintiff's stated reasons were insufficient and potentially tactical, and permitting refiling would prejudice the defendants; costs were awarded to defendants.
