Adjournment request denied; late retention of counsel is not an extraordinary circumstance.
The applicant requested an adjournment of the hearing, with the consent of the respondents, because he had recently retained legal counsel who needed time to review the file.
The request was made more than 14 days after the Notice of Hearing was issued.
The Tribunal denied the request, holding that the failure to retain counsel in a timely manner does not constitute an extraordinary circumstance warranting an adjournment.
