\par It is a matter of concern, that although certain interlocutory applications were made after the filing of Statement of Defence and Counterclaim on 5 July 2000, the plaintiff or its counsel did
 not take any further steps to move the case forward as required under The High Court Rules, 1988.}{\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid16056392  }{\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid16056392\charrsid16056392

 test for dismissal for want of prosecution was satisfied. Accordingly, since the commencement and continuation of proceedings with no intention of bringing them to a conclusion was itself sufficient to amount to an abuse of process which entitled the cou
