- Court
- High Court
Adjournment refused because plaintiffs failed to take reasonable steps to secure critical witness evidence from Chinese detention, the prejudice to Zespri from further delay and staleness of the case outweighed the plaintiffs' prejudice, and the public interest in timely resolution and finality required proceeding to the scheduled trial.
