The appellants appealed an order dismissing their action for delay under Rule 48.14.
The action had been struck from the trial list because the appellants were not ready for trial, and they failed to restore it within 180 days.
The Court of Appeal upheld the status hearing judge's decision, finding no error in considering the entire history of the delay rather than just the 180-day period, and concluding that the judge's finding of no reasonable explanation for the delay was supported by the evidence.
