THOMAS H. DRIVER, SR. ET AL. v. PARKE-DAVIS & CO. ET AL.

Court of Special Appeals of Maryland.

Decided December 4, 1975.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John T. Enoch, with whom were Goodman, Meagher & Enoch on the brief, for appellants.

Donald L. DeVries, Jr., with whom were John H. Mudd, Charles E. Iliff, Jr., and Semmes, Bowen & Semmes on the brief, for appellee Parke-Davis & Company. E. Dale Adkins, III, with whom were John F. King and Anderson, Coe & King on the brief, for other appellees.

The cause was argued before ORTH, C.J., and DAVIDSON and LOWE, JJ.


LOWE, J., delivered the opinion of the Court.

As unrelenting as Juno's hate, Md. Rule 530 once again brings about an "inexorable dismissal" where "no proceedings of record have been taken within a period of eighteen months...."

On December 10, 1969, appellants sued in the Circuit Court for Harford County, for the wrongful death of Mary Driver which, according to appellants, was caused by a prescription of an antibiotic drug known as Chloromycetin.
