    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP2390/2008

    The applications to adjourn, for leave to appeal and for a judge to sit beside the trial judge were dismissed because there was no pending or timely leave application to the Court of Final Appeal, the respondent produced only a belated legal aid/counsel certificate which does not create an appeal or justify adjournment, the reasons advanced were speculative and not a material change of circumstances, and the application to have another judge sit beside the trial judge was a misuse of process; costs were awarded against the respondent.
