What is the test for adjourning a hearing on a driving ban?

Mr. Justice Macaulay said that the foregoing principles (at paras. 30-31), … all flow from the administrative, non-criminal nature of the proceedings before the adjudicator. The adjudicator does not perform the same function as a judge in a criminal trial and the hearing itself is not as adversarial: Fowler v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), [1999] B.C.J. No. 2747 at para. 10 (S.C.). Key features unique to the criminal law process do not apply to reviews of driving prohibitions. The concept of reasonable doubt; the lack of any onus on an accused person; and, almost invariably, the inability of the court to draw any adverse inference from a failure of the accused to testify all form integral parts of the criminal law process but have no application in reviews of driving prohibitions.
