von Reisner v Chepurin

In *von Reisner v Chepurin*, the applicant sought an adjournment of proceedings before McColl and Hoeben JJA of the Court of Appeal of New South Wales. The respondents opposed the adjournment.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the applicant had established sufficient grounds to warrant an adjournment of the hearing of their notices of motion. The Court was required to consider the applicant's reasons for seeking the adjournment in light of the applicable procedural rules and principles governing such applications.

The Court refused the application for an adjournment, implicitly finding that the applicant had not demonstrated a compelling reason to delay the proceedings. The Court then proceeded to dismiss the applicant's notices of motion, indicating that the substantive applications lacked merit or had not been properly pursued. Consequently, the applicant was ordered to pay the respondents' costs associated with the notices of motion and the hearing of the adjournment application.
