Background
The applicants sought dismissal of two cases (HC 1230/19 and HC 3457/19) for want of prosecution under rule 236(3)(b). After obtaining a consent order that the respondents set down their matters within 14 days, the respondents failed to comply. The respondents then attempted to withdraw both cases after the applicants had reset the dismissal application for hearing.
