Advocate 1. Counsel how are you? I have just been retained, I haven't had sight of the file.
Advocate 2. Good, good oh really?
Advocate 1. Yes, so I intend to make an application for an adjournment so that I can go and read the file. I request that you don't OBJECT to the application π
Advocate 2. No problem Counsel, I will not object... you can propose a return date then. I don't think I am ready to proceed today.
Advocate 1. Thanks you man π€

The Judge: Counsel any opposition
