The applicant did not provide affidavit material identifying circumstances to justify disregarding prejudice to the respondent, and both parties were legally represented and on notice of their rights and obligations. The court therefore declined to abridge time and dismissed the notice of motion. The respondent's costs application was also dismissed because the failed motion was not shown to be vexatious or without reasonable cause.
