Action dismissed for inordinate delay after plaintiff took no meaningful steps for six years.
The defendants moved to dismiss the plaintiff's 2020 motor vehicle accident claim for delay under Rules 24.01 and 48.14 of the Rules of Civil Procedure.
The plaintiff failed to file an Affidavit of Documents, attend discoveries, or take meaningful steps to advance the proceeding for over six years.
The plaintiff also failed to file any affidavit evidence responding to the motion.
The Superior Court of Justice found the delay to be inordinate and inexcusable, and that it created a substantial risk that a fair trial was no longer possible.
The motion was granted and the action was dismissed, with costs of $3,500 awarded to the defendants.
