Calculation basis and source
- Period

- The Court may deal with delay on application under r 4-44, including dismissal where the delay is inordinate and inexcusable. A defendant need not give this notice before applying to dismiss for want of prosecution (r 4-46(5)).
- Amended Gaz. 25 Apr. 2025. An application on which no order has been made, other than a request for a pre-trial conference or for a trial, is not a proceeding for this purpose (r 4-46(3)). Does not apply to a defendant who has not appeared (r 4-46(4)).
