The judge was wrong to refuse an adjournment when he had insufficient evidence before him properly to make his decision, and when a costs order was sought against the company directors personally in respect of an application for the winding up of a company. The directors had not been party to the early part of the proceedings and when told of the application for costs requested the opportunity to adjourn so that they could prepare a case.
