The plaintiff in a medical malpractice action moved for an order nunc pro tunc to extend the deadlines set out in a previous consent timetable order.
The court applied the test for setting aside a Registrar's dismissal order, considering the explanation for delay, inadvertence, promptness of the motion, and prejudice to the defendants.
Finding the plaintiff's explanations for missing multiple deadlines inadequate and not the result of inadvertence, the court dismissed the motion and directed the Registrar to dismiss the action for noncompliance.
