Ogawa v Secretary, Department of Education, Science & Training [2005] FCA 1489
The applicant failed to provide a real explanation for not complying with directions to deliver material until the morning of the hearing, had not demonstrated a good ground for an adjournment, and had to bear the consequences of not bringing the relevant legislation. Because the matter had been listed for hearing and an adjournment would be too great an indulgence to her and too great an imposition on the respondents, the application was declined.
