It appears from the service information on the order that the defendants are not represented, so they don’t know that they can use the Plaintiff’s counsel’s misconduct as a basis upon which to move for dismissal.

I expect that there is also a fatal flaw in the paperwork which has resulted in Plaintiff’s counsel not showing up for summary judgment hearings. Of course, if they know that it is flawed, they should have voluntarily dismissed the case, but the banksters at HSBC might not want them to do so. As a result, these attorneys are just following orders. I wonder how that defense will be received by the judge.
