Transport for NSW v Boensch [2023] NSWSC 1200

The adjournment was refused because the first defendant/cross-claimant had sufficient notice of, and possession of, the material in the Court Book to prepare for the hearing; the delay in completing the Court Book was due in part to his request to include approximately 734 pages of his affidavit material; no injustice was occasioned by the Court Book being provided on 4 September 2023; and the just, quick and cheap resolution of the real issues required the interlocutory applications to proceed without further delay.
