  • Facts: The Tams contracted PD Plumbing for home plumbing services. A dispute over unpaid balances led PD Plumbing to file a claim and a builders lien against the Tams' property.
  • Issues: Appeal against dismissal of the Tams' application to dismiss the action for want of prosecution.
  • Ruling: Appeal allowed; action dismissed due to inordinate delay by PD Plumbing, which undermined justice.
  • Amount Awarded: Not applicable; the focus was on procedural fairness and litigation conduct.
