The following excerpt is from 17-002468 v Northbridge Insurance Company, 2017 CanLII 63621 (ON LAT):
I agree with the reasoning in the decision in matter 17-001054, N.Y v. TD Insurance Meloche Monnex at paragraph 36, where the adjudicator interpreted s.21 of the SPPA to mean that the central consideration on a motion for an adjournment is to permit an adequate or full and fair hearing of the matter and assist the adjudicator to make a decision based on the merits of the case.
