the ordinary way, and in the absence of special circumstances, a court will not exercise its inherent jurisdiction to dismiss a plaintiff\rquote

eal risk of prejudice to the defendant. A similar approach should govern applications made under Ords 19, 24, 25, 28 and 34. The approach to applications under Ord 3, r 5 should not in most cases be very different. Save in special cases or exceptional cir

umstances, it can rarely be appropriate, on an overall assessment of what justice requires, to deny the plaintiff an extension (where the denial will stifle his action) because of a procedural default which, even if unjustifiable, has caused the defendant
 no prejudice for which he cannot be compensated by an award of costs. In short, an application under Ord 3, r 5 should ordinarily be granted where the overall justice of the case requires that the action be allowed to proceed.\rquote  }{\rtlch\fcs1

The court was acutely aware of the growing jurisprudence in relation to the failure to observe procedural requirements. There was a need for clarification as to the likely approach of the court in the future to non-compliance with the requirements as to t
ime contained in the rules or directions of the court. What his Lordship said now went beyond the exchange of witness statements or expert reports; it was intended to be of general import. Lord Woolf, Master of the Rolls and Sir Richard Scott, Vice-Chance
l
lor, had approved the following guidance as to the future approach which litigants could expect the court to adopt to the failure to adhere to time limits contained in the rules or directions of the court: 1 Time requirements laid down by the rules and di
r
ections given by the court were not merely targets to be attempted; they were rules to be observed. 2 At the same time the overriding principle was that justice must be done. 3 Litigants were entitled to have their cases resolved with reasonable expeditio
n
. The non-compliance with time limits could cause prejudice to one or more of the parties to the litigation. 4 In addition the vacation or adjournment of the date of trial prejudiced other litigants and disrupted the administration of justice. 5 Extension
s
 of time which involved the vacation or adjournment of trial dates should therefore be granted only as a last resort. 6 Where time limits had not been complied with the parties should co-operate in reaching an agreement as to new time limits which would n
o
t involve the date of trial being postponed. 7 If they reached such an agreement they could ordinarily expect the court to give effect to that agreement at the trial and it was not necessary to make a separate application solely for that purpose. 8 The co
u
rt would not look with favour on a party who sought only to take tactical advantage from the failure of another party to comply with time limits. 9 In the absence of an agreement as to a new timetable, an application should be made promptly to the court f
or directions. 10 In considering whether to grant an extension of time to a party who was in default, the court would look at all the circumstances of the case including the considerations identified above.\rquote  }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af31506\afs18

In the present case, there are no special circumstances, such as an excessive delay.  Have the plaintiffs being irreparably injured by the delay?  Indeed, Counsel for the plaintiffs did not seek to persuade the Court by way of affidavit evidence that }{

of costs because it is not shown by affidavit evidence that the other side have }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\f0\fs24\ul\insrsid5377397\charrsid15625519 suffered irreparable damage}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid5377397
