The respondents requested an adjournment of the scheduled hearing because a key witness was unavailable due to a religious pilgrimage, and also requested the removal of the personal respondent.
The Tribunal denied the adjournment, ordering the hearing to proceed as scheduled with the option to hear the unavailable witness at a later date if necessary.
The Tribunal also denied the request to remove the personal respondent, finding that his individual conduct was a central issue in the allegations of discrimination based on disability.
