The parties were scheduled for a contested motion regarding urgent financial issues in a family law matter.
At the hearing, counsel requested a joint adjournment because the applicant's counsel was unavailable and the respondent's counsel needed to file more materials.
The court expressed frustration over the wasted judicial resources and the failure to indicate unreadiness in the confirmations.
The motions were adjourned without a return date, not to be returnable prior to December 3, 2021.
