The defendants/plaintiffs by counterclaim brought a motion to further extend the peremptory set-down deadline of December 31, 2019.
The responding parties opposed the extension and sought to dismiss the action for delay.
The court found that the moving parties had deliberately failed to comply with the peremptory order and had not demonstrated any exceptional circumstances to justify varying it.
The motion for an extension was dismissed, and the court directed the Registrar to dismiss the action for delay.
