The inability of both the plaintiff's former solicitor and Crown counsel to contact the plaintiff, combined with the plaintiff's failure to prosecute the claim and absence at the call, warranted dismissal of the proceeding for want of prosecution under r 15.2; an oral application was acceptable in the particular circumstances where written notice to the plaintiff was infeasible.
