The applicant employer sought an adjournment of a hearing to review an Order to Pay under the Employment Standards Act.
The applicant's counsel requested the adjournment on the day of the hearing because another lawyer with carriage of the file had accepted a retainer on another matter, and for unspecified personal and corporate reasons.
The claimant opposed the adjournment.
The Board denied the adjournment request, noting it does not grant adjournments for the convenience of counsel or for unspecified reasons.
As the applicant called no evidence and made no submissions on the merits, the application was dismissed and the Order to Pay was affirmed.
