MURREN v SCHAEFFER [2018] NZHC 2442

- High Court
Adjournment refused because the interests of justice favoured proceeding: the action is long-standing, plaintiffs and witnesses had fixed overseas arrangements, the defendant delayed raising alleged threats until late, and alternative steps (filing witness statements and compelling attendance) were available; accordingly the adjournment application failed and costs were awarded to the plaintiffs.
