The plaintiff's slip and fall action was dismissed for delay under Rule 48.14.
The court subsequently set aside the dismissal and imposed a mandatory timetable.
The plaintiff breached multiple steps of the timetable, including failing to deliver a sworn affidavit of documents, failing to answer undertakings, and failing to attend mandatory mediation.
The plaintiff moved to vary the set-aside order and extend the time to set the action down for trial.
The court applied the Reid and Jadid factors, finding the plaintiff failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for the delay, did not miss the deadlines through inadvertence, and failed to rebut the presumption of prejudice to the defendants.
The motion was dismissed, and the action was dismissed.
