Adjournment was declined because the alleged fraud was not newly discovered nor relevant to the fee dispute, the Law Society process did not bar determination of liability, the defendant had engaged in repeated delay and contrived difficulties obtaining counsel, and the balance of justice favored enforcing the existing fixture; leave was granted for counsel to withdraw and strict timetable and unless orders were imposed and the venue retained in Auckland.
