Simons and Anor and Simons and Ors (No. 2)

In *Simons and Anor and Simons and Ors (No. 2)*, Cronin J of the Supreme Court of New South Wales considered an application by MS M SIMONS to attend a hearing via electronic communication. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties, beyond the fact that it involved multiple parties referred to as "Simons and Anor" and "Simons and Ors," is not detailed in the provided text.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether to grant MS M SIMONS's application to participate in the hearing remotely through electronic means. This required the Court to weigh the applicant's request against any relevant considerations that might militate against such an arrangement.

Cronin J refused the application. While the precise reasoning is not elaborated upon in the provided text, the decision indicates that the Court determined that attendance by electronic communication was not appropriate in this instance. The Court's order was that the application by MS M SIMONS to attend the hearing by electronic communication is refused.
