The plaintiff brought a motion to set aside a Registrar's Order dismissing his wrongful dismissal action for delay.
The action was administratively dismissed after plaintiff's counsel failed to pass the trial record in accordance with a court-ordered timetable.
The court applied the Reid factors and found that the plaintiff failed to provide a reasonable explanation for the extensive litigation delay, failed to demonstrate inadvertence, and did not move promptly to set aside the dismissal.
The motion was dismissed, upholding the administrative dismissal.
