Pendrell Place: Part 2 - Transcript of Hearing to Dismiss for Want of Prosecution Chris Monk's claim S032263 against Ascent Real Estate Management Corporation
8 The fact that the claim remains outstanding
19 is a reflection of the plaintiff's ordering of his
20 priorities which has serious prejudice
21 to the applicants and has affected the applicant
22 Michael Roach personally and professionally. He
23 has had to report the claim to his governing body
24 on the renewal of his licence. He has had to
25 incur costs of hiring a managing broker for his
26 company,and he has had anxiety that is
27 exacerbated by his concern of knowing -- of not
28 knowing whether he will be able to provide a full
29 defence.
30 Accordingly the applicants submit that the
31 plaintiff's claim should be dismissed for want of
32 prosecution and an order be made with respect to
33 costs. We've included a draft bill of costs at
34 tab 10, and it's a modest proportion of what has
35 actually been incurred in this proceeding.
36 And finally as -- I was advised this morning
37 that the plaintiff has in fact withdrawn his
38 claims against the other defendants and is now
39 pursuing the applicants -- and is now pursuing
40 only the applicants. Subject to further questions
41 and Mr. Monk's response that concludes my
42 submissions.
43 THE COURT: Mr. Monk?
