The defendant brought a motion to adjourn a pre-trial conference to allow for defence medical assessments.
The plaintiff had served new and supplementary medical reports late, making it difficult for the defendant to comply with the 90-day expert report deadline before the scheduled pre-trial.
The court granted the adjournment, emphasizing the importance of trial fairness and the defendant's right to adequately respond to the plaintiff's medical evidence, noting that the plaintiff's delay contributed to the need for the adjournment.
