CaseChat Overview and Summary
In *Graham and Kovacs (No 2)*, Tree J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the father concerning the resumption of a trial. The dispute arose from the father's attempt to relist the trial, which had previously been adjourned.
The primary legal issue before the court was whether the father's application to resume the trial should be granted. This required the court to consider the circumstances surrounding the adjournment and the reasons for the father's request to relist the matter.
Tree J dismissed the father's application, indicating that the grounds presented were insufficient to warrant resuming the trial at that time. The court ordered that the hearing of the trial would resume at a later date, specifically 10:00 am on Tuesday, 28 April 2015, but otherwise dismissed the father's application filed on 24 April 2015.
