““. . . a clear eye on justice . . . which must be always available to litigants who diligently seek it .... To achieve it, those responsible for running the machinery of the court system, the means to that end, must be ever watchful that the machinery does not become fouled by cases which impair the system’s ability to achieve its broad goal. Supreme Bench Rule 528L is one way of keeping watch.” Chase v. Jamison, supra at 611 .”
