CaseChat Overview and Summary

In *Calder and Andrews*, the applicants sought an adjournment of proceedings before Cronin J.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the applicants had established sufficient grounds to warrant an adjournment of the proceedings.

Cronin J refused the application for adjournment, indicating that the threshold for granting such an adjournment had not been met. The Court's reasoning, though not detailed in the provided text, would have involved an assessment of the applicants' reasons for seeking the adjournment against the principles governing the grant of adjournments in Australian courts, which typically require a demonstration of genuine need and that the adjournment would not cause undue prejudice to the other party or the administration of justice.

The Court ordered that the application for adjournment be refused.
