The parties sought a consent order under Rule 48.14(4) directing the Registrar not to dismiss the action for delay, arising from a 2010 motor vehicle accident.
The court granted the order and issued a brief endorsement interpreting Rule 48.14 ahead of the January 1, 2017 administrative dismissals.
The court clarified that actions dismissed for delay by the Registrar should not contain a costs order, Rule 48.14 does not apply to case-managed actions or applications, and it does not apply to actions that have been stayed.
