BAILEY & RADCLIFFE

The matter of *Bailey & Radcliffe* concerned an application by the wife for an adjournment, which was heard by Johnston J. The husband had filed a Response to an Application in a Case, and the wife had filed an Application in a Case. The dispute revolved around the wife's request to postpone the proceedings.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the wife's application for an adjournment should be granted. This required the court to consider the circumstances presented by the wife and weigh them against the interests of justice and the efficient conduct of the proceedings.

Johnston J dismissed the wife's application for an adjournment. The court also dismissed the wife's Application in a Case filed on 20 July 2015 as amended. The husband's Response to an Application in a Case filed on 28 July 2015 was adjourned, with liberty to re-list it on 14 days' notice to the Court and the other party. The wife was ordered to pay 80 per cent of the husband's costs of these proceedings.
