Proceedings were struck out because there had been inordinate and inexcusable delay with no step taken within 12 months preceding the defendants' application, s 50 of the Defamation Act 1992 directed striking out absent discretionary reasons to the contrary, and the interests of justice favoured strike out given prejudice and the public interest in timely litigation.
