CaseChat Overview and Summary

In *Pickering & Pickering*, heard before Dawe J, the proceedings concerned numerous contravention applications filed against the mother. The mother sought an adjournment of these proceedings to enable her to obtain legal advice.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether it was appropriate to grant the mother's request for an adjournment of the contravention proceedings.

Dawe J considered the mother's need to seek legal advice and determined that an adjournment was warranted to facilitate this. The Court ordered that the hearing of the contravention applications be adjourned to 19 and 20 April 2011, allocating two days for the hearing before His Honour.
