A quick definition of want of prosecution:

Want of Prosecution: When someone starts a legal case but then doesn't continue with it, it is called want of prosecution. This can lead to the case being dismissed. It is also known as lack of prosecution or no progress.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Want of prosecution refers to the failure of a person involved in a legal case to continue pursuing it. This can result in the case being dismissed.

Examples:

If a plaintiff fails to show up to court or fails to file necessary documents, the case may be dismissed for want of prosecution.
A defendant may also be guilty of want of prosecution if they fail to respond to legal requests or fail to appear in court.

These examples illustrate how want of prosecution can lead to a case being dismissed. It is important for all parties involved in a legal case to actively participate and follow through with necessary actions in order for the case to proceed.
