A lawyer, acting on behalf of the woman, also asked for interim name suppression to continue.
The man’s lawyer, Paul Borich, QC, did not seek continued name suppression, however the woman’s lawyer sought continued suppression to protect the identity of his client.
The name suppression hearing was set down for June 2.
Justice Fitzgerald acknowledged Boyd’s family and friends, who were present in court on Wednesday.
