Summary at a glance

TypeApplication to set aside, review and/or vacate the order issued on 3rd December 2018 dismissing the suitPostureApplication to set aside, review and/or vacate the order issued on 3rd December 2018 dismissing the suit
Application is dismissed with no order as to costs

Facts

The suit was filed on 27th October 2016 and dismissed for want of prosecution on 3rd December 2018. The applicant filed an application to set aside, review and/or vacate the order on 19th February 2019.

Issues

  • Whether the delay to prosecute the case was intentional
  • Whether the respondent will suffer prejudice if the orders to set aside are granted
  • Whether the claimant has a strong case against the respondent
  • Whether the respondent will suffer great loss if the case is not reinstated

Reasoning

The court notes the dismissal was more than two years from the date of filing suit and there has been no explanation for the delay. Reinstating the suit would amount to vexation and an injustice against the respondent.

Outcome

Dismissed

Orders

  • Application is dismissed with no order as to costs
