The defendant, CM, sought an adjournment of the bail hearing. The nature of the dispute was whether the court should grant an adjournment of the bail application. The matter was heard in the Children's Court of New South Wales. The legal issues were whether the court should grant an adjournment of the bail application, and if so, on what conditions.

The court considered the age of the applicant and the exceptional circumstances of the case. The court noted that the applicant was 14 years old and that the application was made on the basis that the applicant had other matters that were pending and would be resolved shortly. The court held that in exceptional cases, an adjournment may be granted where the applicant's other matters will be resolved shortly and the adjournment will not result in any significant delay to the administration of justice. The court considered that the applicant's pending matters would be resolved shortly and that the adjournment would not result in any significant delay to the administration of justice. The court also noted that the applicant was a young person and that the court should consider the best interests of the child in deciding whether to grant an adjournment. The court granted the adjournment on the condition that the applicant's pending matters be resolved as soon as possible.

The court ordered that the bail application be adjourned until a specified date, and that the applicant's pending matters be resolved as soon as possible. The court also ordered that the applicant be remanded in custody until the next hearing.
