Appeal dismissed; requiring an undertaking not to practice as a condition for adjournment was proper.
The appellant appealed a decision of the Law Society of Upper Canada Appeal Panel, arguing that the Hearing Panel's refusal to grant an adjournment beyond a certain date unless he undertook not to practice amounted to a denial of natural justice.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding that the Hearing Panel properly exercised its discretion by weighing the serious risk to the public interest against the appellant's right to counsel.
