The respondent in a pending application sought an adjournment of the hearing scheduled for December 4-5, 2025, claiming he had not received his complete client file from former counsel, was catastrophically impaired, and that the applicant had recently served a revised factum.
The court found the adjournment request unreasonable, noting the matter had been extensively case managed for over a year, the respondent had participated in scheduling the hearing dates, had failed to file any responding materials despite earlier deadlines, and had only formally requested his client file one week before the hearing.
The revised factum contained only minor administrative updates.
The adjournment was denied and the application was ordered to proceed as scheduled.
