Counsel for two respondents brought a motion to be removed as counsel of record, citing the respondents' failure to cooperate and provide information necessary for their representation.

The respondents did not respond to communications or the notice of motion, and did not attend the hearing.

The Commission granted the motion, noting that counsel cannot properly represent clients without their cooperation and information.

The Commission also warned that future requests for adjournments by the respondents based on a lack of counsel would not be viewed favourably, as they had sufficient time to retain new counsel before the scheduled hearing.
