The applicant requested an adjournment of the scheduled hearing dates due to the recent retention of a new representative, the need to summons witnesses, and the need to transcribe handwritten notes.
The respondents opposed the request and sought an order for the applicant to provide a tabbed book of documents.
The Tribunal denied the adjournment request, finding that the last-minute retention of a representative did not constitute exceptional circumstances under the Tribunal's Practice Direction.
The Tribunal also ordered the applicant to deliver a tabbed book of documents to the respondents and the Tribunal.
