Rahman v Rahman (No 2)

In *Rahman v Rahman (No 2)*, heard before Price AJA, the applicant sought an order for expedition of proceedings. The respondents opposed this application.

The central legal issue before the court was whether to grant an order for expedition, particularly in light of a significant delay in bringing the application.

Price AJA dismissed the application for expedition, finding that the delay in bringing the application was significant. The court applied the principles governing applications for expedition, which require a compelling justification for such an order, especially when there has been a substantial lapse of time. The court concluded that the applicant had not demonstrated sufficient grounds to warrant expedition in these circumstances.

Consequently, the court ordered the dismissal of the notice of motion filed on 18 August 2025 and directed that the applicant pay the first and second respondents’ costs.
