Lambourne v Baker (No 10)

The Court of Appeal of New South Wales, constituted by Adamson and Ball JJA and Griffiths AJA, considered an application for an adjournment of applications seeking the recusal of two members of the bench. Mr Lambourne, the applicant, sought to adjourn his own applications for the recusal of Adamson JA and Griffiths AJA.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant Mr Lambourne's application to adjourn his recusal applications. This required the court to consider the principles governing adjournments in circumstances where a party seeks to delay proceedings by applying for the recusal of judges.

The court refused Mr Lambourne's application for an adjournment. The reasoning for this decision is not detailed in the provided text, but the outcome indicates that the court did not consider an adjournment to be appropriate in the circumstances.

Consequently, the court made orders refusing Mr Lambourne’s application for an adjournment of his respective applications that Adamson JA recuse herself and that Griffiths AJA recuse himself.
