Adjournment request denied where counsel knowingly accepted a conflicting retainer and opposing party did not consent.
Counsel for two of the respondents requested an adjournment of a scheduled hearing date due to a scheduling conflict with another matter before the Board.
The Board noted that the hearing dates had been agreed upon by the parties and that counsel had accepted the retainer in the other matter knowing of the conflict.
The applicant union refused to consent to the adjournment.
The Board dismissed the adjournment request, finding that the scheduling conflict was of counsel's own making and did not justify an adjournment.
