The plaintiffs brought a motion to adjourn the trial of a motor vehicle accident claim, alleging serious misconduct and fraud by the defendant's medical expert and defence counsel.
The plaintiffs sought time to investigate these claims and introduce prior tribunal and judicial findings against the expert.
The court dismissed the motion, finding no evidentiary basis for the allegations and noting that prior tribunal decisions and judicial comments on the expert's credibility are inadmissible in the civil trial.
The court held that an adjournment would cause undue delay and prejudice the administration of justice.
