What is the meaning of the word "peremptorily" in the context of a preliminary inquiry?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Proscow, 1976 CanLII 308 (AB QB):
It is true that some meaning must be accorded to the fixing of a date of a preliminary inquiry or for a final "peremptorily". As used by the presiding Judge on 19th August it meant, as Lopes L.J. said in Falck v. Axthelm (1889), 24 Q.B.D. 174 at 177: "… that the order for extension of time is given on the footing that it is to be final unless some very special and urgent circumstances are brought forward as a reason for offering it".
