As always scara, poor reporting.

This isn't a new case. It was brought several years back. The Court halted the proceedings to allow for long term medical evaluation to take place. The claimants instead of asking the Court to reactivate the case (which was the proper way to do things) they asked for the defence to be dismissed by default and the report in the link is simply referring to this dismissal request.

The judge threw out their request and awarded costs to the other side - just in relation to the dismissal request.

The case itself remains ongoing and thiis was no more than a side skirmish.
