Wignall and Hewart

In *Wignall and Hewart*, the wife sought an adjournment of proceedings before Cohen J. The dispute concerned applications filed by the husband on 23 December 2009 for review and stay of orders made by Judicial Registrar Johnston on 27 November 2009.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether to grant the wife's oral application for an adjournment of the proceedings.

Cohen J granted the wife's application for an adjournment. The Court noted that the wife had provided an oral undertaking to the Court that she would not take steps to enforce the orders made by Judicial Registrar Johnston on 27 November 2009 until the husband's review and stay applications were determined. The Court informed the wife that a breach of this undertaking would constitute contempt of court.

The proceedings were adjourned to 10 am on 3 June 2010 for mention only before Justice Cohen.
