Summary

After initiating the action, the claimant failed to prosecute the case diligently. He failed to respond to numerous communications from the Office. This amounted to an abuse of process and the action was therefore struck out for want of prosecution. The hearing officer decided that there was no public interest in continuing the action under section 72.
