Full judgment
1. MISS BURGESS: I appear on behalf of the applicant in this matter. There is no representative for the respondent this morning. We have had no correspondence from the respondent in respect of this hearing this morning.
2. MR JUSTICE MOSTYN: This would have been heard in time if she had not asked for an adjournment.
3. MISS BURGESS: Indeed, yes, it would have.
4. MR JUSTICE MOSTYN: Then it is a straightforward case really, is it not?
5. MISS BURGESS: It is in my respectful submission, yes.
6. MR JUSTICE MOSTYN: It is granted.
7. MISS BURGESS: I am grateful.
8. MR JUSTICE MOSTYN: The interim order is extended to 4 pm on 9 July 2016. She has permission to apply to vary or discharge, with no order as to costs.
9. I know that these things are routinely transcribed. I will say for the record that I am satisfied on the evidence that has been filed, namely the witness statement of Sarah Wilson, that this is an appropriate case for an extension, not least because the case would by now have been concluded within the original period had it not been for the request which was granted of the respondent nurse for an adjournment.
10. MISS BURGESS: I am grateful.
