What is the legal test for adjournment of an interlocutory suspension motion by the Law Society of Upper Canada?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Law Society of Ontario v. Ciarallo, 2021 ONLSTH 97 (CanLII):

In Law Society of Upper Canada v. Bogue,[3] the panel considered an adjournment request of an interlocutory suspension motion and whether, if granted, an interim suspension order should be made. It noted that brief adjournments are commonly sought due to the short notice on which such motions are brought, and held that in these circumstances: The Law Society should generally meet a higher threshold to show that the licensee cannot continue to practise during a brief adjournment of the motion…. [emphasis added]
