Rahman and Rahman (No 3)

In *Rahman and Rahman (No 3)*, heard by Watts J, the wife sought to vacate hearing dates scheduled for 21 and 22 November 2011. The dispute concerned an application by the wife to vacate these dates, which was opposed by the husband.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the wife had established sufficient grounds to justify the vacation of the already scheduled hearing dates. This involved considering the wife's assertions of prejudice in the presentation of her case and the impact of any such prejudice on the fairness of the proceedings.

Watts J dismissed the wife's application to vacate the hearing dates. The court reasoned that the wife had not demonstrated that the circumstances warranted such a significant disruption to the court's timetable. However, the court granted leave to the wife to make a further application if subsequent events arose that she contended would prejudice her ability to present her case effectively. Additionally, the court ordered that transcripts of the hearing on 12 and 13 October 2011 be released to the parties.
