The application for adjournment was refused because, on balance, further delay would be unjust and prejudicial to the Plaintiff given the long delay, the Plaintiff's reliance on the Defendant's conviction under s.62, the absence of extant third party proceedings in the High Court, and the uncertainty whether leave to appeal would be granted or succeed; the court exercised its discretion to proceed and awarded costs to the Plaintiff.
