SKELLY & HUXFORD

The parties, Skelly and Huxford, sought leave from the court to approach the Listings Coordinator to obtain hearing dates for certain applications. The court dispensed with compliance with any Rules that would otherwise have prevented the matter from being dealt with on an ex parte basis.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant leave for the parties to approach the Listings Coordinator to schedule a hearing for their applications, acknowledging that the hearing was anticipated to take one day or more.

Foster J granted the leave sought, noting the anticipated length of the hearing. The court's decision facilitated the progression of the applications by enabling the parties to secure a hearing date.
