SASANI & KING

In the matter of *Sasani & King*, heard before Cronin J, the applicant sought an adjournment of proceedings and leave to issue a subpoena. The dispute concerned the applicant's ability to serve the respondent with court documents, particularly in light of the respondent's alleged evasiveness and the applicant's proposed method of service via the respondent's cousin.

The primary legal issues before the court were whether to grant an adjournment of the application to the Judicial Duty List and whether to grant the applicant leave to issue a subpoena to the respondent's cousin to give evidence. A further issue was the appropriate method for serving the court's orders and reasons for judgment upon the respondent, given the difficulties in effecting personal service.

Cronin J considered the applicant's request for an adjournment and the proposed service arrangements. The court granted leave for the applicant to issue a subpoena to the respondent's cousin, indicating a willingness to facilitate the applicant's efforts to bring the respondent before the court or to ensure proper notification. The court also ordered that the reasons for judgment and all affidavit material be served personally on the respondent through his cousin, thereby establishing a practical mechanism for service in the circumstances. The application was adjourned to a later date to allow for these steps to be taken.
