The applicant requested an adjournment of the hearing and an extension of time to file pre-hearing materials because her son was seriously ill in Jamaica.
The respondent objected, citing the applicant's failure to communicate, previous adjournments, and costs incurred.
The Tribunal accepted the applicant's evidence of her son's illness as an exceptional circumstance and granted the adjournment.
The Tribunal set peremptory deadlines for the applicant to file her materials and noted the application could be dismissed if she failed to comply.
