- High Court
Adjournment declined because delay and risk to the fixture were caused primarily by the applicant's persistent non-cooperation and dilatory conduct; discovery could reasonably be completed remotely within the remaining timeframe and remote participation would address logistical barriers; given the applicant's history of default and repeating counsel changes, unless orders were necessary to secure compliance; therefore trial to proceed as scheduled with tight timetabling orders and costs reserved.
