Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre is in negotiations over a criminal case for allegedly breaching a family violence restraining order.
The 41-year-old wasn't required to appear when her case was briefly mentioned in Joondalup Magistrates Court in Perth where she has been living.
Giuffre's lawyer Karrie Louden on Wednesday requested an adjournment until June 11 and told Magistrate Andrew Maughan that negotiations with prosecutors were ongoing over the alleged incident in the suburb of Ocean Reef on February 2.
Asked by Mr Maughan why the negotiations were taking so long, Ms Louden said she was "quite busy" with other cases.
Mr Maughan granted the extension and said a plea would need to be entered when it returned to court.
The case was previously mentioned in court on March 14.
Giuffre captured global attention in March when she shared a photo on social media showing her face with what appeared to be extensive bruising.
In the post, she said she had been involved in a bus crash, was hospitalised with kidney renal failure and had four days to live.
A spokesman later said Giuffre was in serious condition in hospital and provided details about the bus crash on March 24 in a rural area of Western Australia.
He said a school bus hit the car she was travelling in and that although police were called none were available to come to the scene.
"Virginia was banged up and bruised and returned home," the statement said.
"Virginia's condition worsened and she was admitted to the hospital."
The spokesman also said Giuffre thanked "everyone for the outpouring of love and support" and that she had intended to publish her social media post on a private Facebook page.
Outside court, Ms Louden told a large media pack that Giuffre had been released from hospital and was expected to give an update about her condition soon.
Prince Andrew paid millions of dollars to Giuffre in 2022 to settle a civil case out of court after she accused him of sexually assaulting her when she was 17 years old. King Charles' younger brother strenuously denied her allegations.
Giuffre also sued US financier and convicted pedophile Epstein saying he sexually abused her and pressured her into have sex with prominent figures within his social orbit.
Her case will return to the same court on June 11.
