Dismissal for failure to bring action to trial within five years was error under impracticability exception to statute where parties stipulated to multiple continuances due to illnesses of plaintiff and counsel, such continuances had a causal connection to the lack of trial within the five year period, and trial court failed to rule on whether plaintiff had exercised reasonable diligence throughout the five year period in seeking to bring the case to trial.
