The Court of Appeal has dismissed an appeal from the High Court, and affirmed a decision to award costs to the losing side in an application to dismiss an action for delay, on the grounds that it was appropriate to bring the motion where the plaintiff had failed to diligently prosecute the case. The Court of Appeal also agreed with the trial judge's refusal to grant a stay on the order for costs, emphasizing the need to discourage such delays in litigation.
