What is the test for deciding whether to adjourn an adjournment?

New Brunswick, Canada


The following excerpt is from D.M. v. S.G., 2012 NBQB 188 (CanLII):

The learned justice adopted that statement and went on to say, at paragraph 14 of Burtt v. Boyle, this: In my view, a principled approach to determining whether or not to grant an adjournment involves weighing factors such as these, if relevant to the circumstances, as well as any other relevant factors, in an effort to do justice. While the objective of a trial court is to secure the just, least expensive and most expeditious determination of every proceeding on its merits, the court also has responsibilities to the administration of justice in general and must administer limited resources accordingly.
