Consent adjournment granted, but Board warns parties against late requests that squander institutional resources.
The parties requested a consent adjournment of a scheduled hearing before the Ontario Labour Relations Board.
The Board granted the adjournment but issued a decision expressing concern over the parties' repeated practice of requesting adjournments with minimal notice.
The Board emphasized that late adjournment requests squander limited institutional resources and warned that future requests lacking substantive reasons might be denied, even if on consent.
The matter was adjourned sine die.
