The appellant appealed a summary judgment granted by the Superior Court of Justice.
The appellant's counsel withdrew one month prior to the appeal hearing, and the appellant requested an adjournment to retain new counsel.
The Court of Appeal denied the adjournment request, finding no basis to grant it.
The respondent argued the appeal lacked merit, noting that the summary judgment was granted after the appellant failed to comply with court-ordered indulgences regarding payment of costs and filing of material, and that the material would not have raised a genuine issue for trial.
The appeal was dismissed with costs.
