9 Strike out for want of prosecution (O 25, R 9)

9
(1) If no step has been taken in any cause or matter for 6 months then any party on application or the Court of its own motion may list the cause or matter for the parties to show cause why it should not be struck out for want of prosecution or as an abuse of the process of the Court.
(2) Upon hearing the application the Court may either dismiss the cause or matter on such terms as may be just, or deal with the application as if it were a summons for directions.
