The applicant requested an adjournment of the hearing, scheduled for September 25 and 26, 2014, due to difficulties obtaining missing medical documents.
The respondent consented to the adjournment.
The Tribunal denied the request, noting that under its Practice Direction, adjournments outside the 14-day period are only granted in exceptional circumstances.
The Tribunal found the circumstances were not exceptional and directed that any prejudice to the respondent could be addressed by adjourning the hearing after the applicant testified in chief.
