The court held that An adjournment is not
granted as of right but is only granted for
sufficient cause with the exercise of discretion
by the Court. That as the justices had given the
new lawyers the chance to consult the old
lawyers and the fact that there had been a
notice of the hearing served, there was no
miscarriage of justice. That as the appellants
here was simply trying to raise a new ground
of appeal without seeking leave of Court. They
cannot be allowed to raise and argue a ground
on which they had not appealed. That as there
was no fraud, mistake, misapprehension or
contravention of court policy found upon
perusal of the record of appeal. The Consent
Judgment was entered into freely by both
parties and has been partially fulfilled and
couldn’t be set aside.
