During a certification application, the respondent's counsel failed to appear after an adjournment request was refused.
The applicant sought to introduce alleged prior statements of an absent witness as admissions against interest, which the Board refused due to their prejudicial value.
The applicant also requested the Board to certify facts to the Supreme Court for a bench warrant to enforce subpoenas against two absent witnesses.
The Board declined, ruling that the applicant must take responsibility for enforcing its own subpoenas.
