"7. (1) Where a party fails to comply with an order of the Court directing
that party to take a step in the proceeding, any other party may move the
Court on notice-

   (a)  if the party in default is an applicant-for an order that the
        proceeding be stayed or dismissed as to the whole or any part of the
        relief claimed by him in the proceeding;

   (b)  if the party in default is a respondent-for judgment or an order
        against him; or

   (c)  for an order that the step in the proceeding be taken within the time
        limited in that order.



"(2) The Court may make an order of the kind mentioned in sub-rule (1) or any
other order or may give such directions, and specify such consequences for
non-compliance with the order, as the Court thinks just.

"(3) This rule does not limit the powers of the Court to punish for
contempt.".
