The defendants brought a motion to dismiss the plaintiff's wrongful dismissal action for delay, failure to appoint counsel, and failure to comply with an interlocutory order.
The action had been struck from the trial list in 2012, and the plaintiff's former counsel had removed themselves from the record shortly after.
The court found that the plaintiff failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for the delay and that the defendants would suffer real prejudice due to the faded memory of their key investigator.
The motion to dismiss the action for delay under Rule 24.01 was granted.
