AUCKLAND TROTTING CLUB INCORPORATED v CANAM GROUP LTD (now MEDWAY LTD) [2023] NZHC 713

- High Court
The grant of the adjournment was justified because the defendants demonstrated a bona fide scheduling conflict arising from an earlier allocated fixture for senior counsel which had been notified to the registry; there was no evidence of tactical delay, the plaintiff did not show specific prejudice and monetary prejudice was mitigated by interest, and therefore the interests of justice required vacating the 29 October 2024 fixture and reallocating a five week trial commencing 3 June 2025; no order as to costs was made.
