- High Court
The adjournment was refused because the appellant, having filed the notice of appeal, was bound to comply with directions; experienced counsel were able to prepare the legal issues within the available time without the director's presence; the public interest in avoiding delay to finalise the replacement plan and the risk of prejudice to the respondent outweighed the appellant's claimed hardships.
