Conrad & Conrad

In *Conrad & Conrad*, the wife sought leave to adduce additional expert evidence during the trial. This application was opposed by the husband and his sister. The trial was scheduled to commence on the day the application was heard.

The primary legal issue before Forrest J was whether to grant the wife leave to adduce the additional expert evidence. A secondary issue arose concerning costs, with the husband and his sister seeking an order that the wife pay their costs occasioned by the adjournment of the trial.

Forrest J dismissed the wife's application for leave to adduce additional expert evidence. Consequently, the trial dates were vacated, and the matter was relisted for case management. The court reserved its decision on the costs application pending the provision of a schedule detailing the costs incurred by the husband and his sister due to the adjournment.
