The Prothonotary of the Supreme Court of New South Wales v Sukkar

The Court of Appeal refused an adjournment application in disciplinary proceedings against a legal practitioner, where the opponent had previously been granted an adjournment on similar grounds and had failed to comply with the resulting order for written submissions. The Court dismissed the motion but afforded the opponent a further seven days to file written submissions, with the matter otherwise to be determined on the claimant's submissions alone.
