REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 The applicant has now asked for an adjournment of these proceedings. Although such an application was, to some extent, anticipated this morning, I did not understand it to have been made. In any event, I would have declined it at that stage and I do now for the same reasons. This hearing date was fixed some two months ago. Directions were given as to the delivery of material. The applicant failed to deliver her material until this morning. No real explanation has been given for her failure to comply with my order save that she claims not to have had enough time. She now seeks an adjournment on the basis that I have raised matters with her that she cannot answer, apparently because she has not brought a copy of the relevant legislation with her. She must bear the consequences of such oversight. The matter having been listed for hearing today it should proceed today. It would, in my view, be too great an indulgence to her and too great an imposition upon the respondents to do anything other than proceed with the matter. No good ground for an adjournment has been demonstrated. The application is declined.
