State Central Authority and Papastavrou (No. 2)

The proceedings before Bennett J involved the State Central Authority as the applicant and Papastavrou as the respondent. The nature of the dispute is not fully detailed in the provided text, but it appears to be a matter requiring further hearing and determination.

The court was required to consider applications for an adjournment of the extant proceedings and to set a timetable for the filing and service of further evidence by both parties in anticipation of the adjourned hearing. The court also had to address the question of costs.

Bennett J granted leave to the applicant to make an oral application for an adjournment, which was subsequently granted. The proceedings were adjourned for further hearing on 11 August 2008. Crucially, the applicant indicated no objection to the respondent reopening her case on the adjourned date. Directions were made for the parties to file and serve any further affidavit material or proofs of evidence by specific dates in July and August 2008. The question of costs of the day was reserved.
