Adjournment and stay refused. Applicant failed to establish the necessity of an adjournment: his asserted impecuniosity and inability to obtain counsel were not shown to be inevitable or unavoidable, the Korean bankruptcy did not demonstrably preclude recognition and registration proceedings in New Zealand (which seek recognition not enforcement), and the public interest and prejudice to the respondent from further delay outweighed any claimed benefit of waiting for the outcome of the Korean process.
