R v Yousif

In the Supreme Court of New South Wales, the case of R v Yousif was heard by Justice Hulme. The defendant, Mr Yousif, was facing criminal charges and the matter was set for trial on 23 October 2019. The application before the court was to adjourn the trial date, and this was granted by the court.

The primary legal issue that the court needed to decide was whether the trial date should be adjourned and, if so, what the new trial date should be. The court was also required to consider the procedural steps that needed to be taken before the new trial date, including the service of evidence, the conduct of a pre-trial conference, and the preparation of an agreed statement of facts.

In delivering the decision, Justice Hulme found that the application to vacate the trial date of 23 October 2019 should be granted. The court directed that the trial be adjourned to 24 February 2020 at Albury, 10am. The court also issued several directions regarding the steps that needed to be taken before the new trial date, including the service of evidence, the conduct of a pre-trial conference, and the preparation of an agreed statement of facts. The court also directed that bail continue until further order.

In summary, the court granted the application to adjourn the trial date and set out a series of directions that needed to be complied with before the new trial date.
