While adding another step in the process may in some cases increase costs, if used effectively, these conferences may result in fewer requests for adjournment, more efficient contested hearings and more effective advocacy on the part of the self - representing litigant. (slaw.ca)
In cases where there is a lengthy or indeterminate adjournment request for medical reasons, or where there have been numerous requests for adjournments, the adjudicator may want some proof of the merits of that request. (slaw.ca)
