The member requested an adjournment of the continuation of his discipline hearing due to personal medical circumstances.

The College did not oppose the request but sought terms.

The Discipline Committee granted the adjournment subject to terms requiring the member to obtain medical records, complete bloodwork, and participate in a case conference to schedule the continuation of the hearing.

The Member brought a motion to adjourn the discipline hearing for medical reasons.

The College consented to the adjournment but requested conditions for any future adjournment requests, including a requirement for an independent medical evaluation.

The Discipline Committee granted the adjournment and imposed conditions on future requests, noting the need to prevent undue delay and manage committee resources.

The Committee ordered that if the Member seeks a future adjournment for medical reasons and the College reasonably requests an independent medical evaluation, the Member may consent to it, with any refusal to be considered by a future panel.

The Member brought a motion to adjourn her discipline hearing until it could be held in person rather than electronically.

The College consented to the adjournment but requested conditions restricting the Member's ability to teach during the delay.

The Discipline Committee granted the adjournment and imposed the requested conditions, finding that the indefinite delay increased the risk to the public of the Member continuing to teach while allegations of incompetence remained unresolved.

The Committee also set a schedule for the remainder of the hearing to prevent further undue delay.
