Pritt and Tumit

In *Pritt and Tumit*, Mullane J of the Supreme Court of Western Australia was required to consider applications brought by the parties. The nature of the dispute between Pritt and Tumit is not detailed in the provided text, beyond the fact that applications were made by them.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether outstanding applications should be dismissed for want of prosecution. This required the Court to assess the progress and diligence of the parties in pursuing their respective applications.

Mullane J determined that the applications should be dismissed for want of prosecution. The reasoning behind this decision is not elaborated upon in the provided text, but the outcome indicates a finding that the parties had failed to adequately prosecute their claims.

Consequently, Mullane J ordered that any outstanding applications be dismissed for want of prosecution.
