Adjournment granted where applicant's legal representative left the retained law firm prior to closing submissions.
The applicant requested an adjournment of the hearing for final closing submissions because the articling student who had carriage of the file left the firm and no other lawyers were available.
The respondent objected, arguing there were no exceptional circumstances.
The Tribunal granted the adjournment, finding that the applicant had been diligent in retaining legal representation and should not be prejudiced by his representative's departure from the firm.
