- High Court
The Court refused the adjournment because Part 4A procedures are a discretionary factor, not mandatory; given the complexity, likelihood of inevitable litigation, need for extensive discovery and oral evidence, related proceedings already in the High Court, and the Commissioner's decision not to refer matters to the Adjudication Unit, the balance of factors overwhelmingly favored continuing litigation in the High Court rather than staying for internal dispute procedures.
