Martin v State of New South Wales (No 1)

In *Martin v State of New South Wales (No 1)*, the applicant sought an adjournment of objections to the competency of appeals and related applications for leave to appeal. The State of New South Wales objected to the hearing of multiple related matters together. The proceedings were before Basten JA and Handley AJA.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the applicant had established sufficient grounds to warrant an adjournment of the objections to competency and the applications for leave to appeal. This involved considering the State's objection to the consolidation of these related matters for hearing.

The court refused the application for adjournment. While the specific reasoning is not detailed in the provided text, the refusal indicates that the court found no compelling grounds to delay the determination of the competency objections and leave applications, nor to accede to the request for the matters to be heard together in the manner sought by the applicant.

The court ordered that the application for adjournment be refused.
