Milson and Myron

In the matter of Milson and Myron, Mr Myron applied to the Supreme Court of New South Wales for an adjournment of a trial scheduled to commence on 11 February 2019. The application was filed on 8 February 2019, and an informal request for adjournment was also made via email on 10 February 2019.

The central legal issue before Carew J was whether the trial should be adjourned as requested by Mr Myron. This required the Court to consider the grounds for the adjournment and the impact of granting or refusing such a request on the administration of justice and the parties involved.

Carew J dismissed both the formal application and the informal request for adjournment. The decision implies that the Court found the reasons provided by Mr Myron insufficient to warrant delaying the trial, prioritising the efficient conduct of court business and the interests of the other party, Milson. The Court's refusal indicates a high threshold for granting adjournments, particularly when made close to the trial date.
