What is the authority of an administrative agency to adjourn a hearing?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Rosenberry v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2010 FC 882 (CanLII):
Administrative agencies are the masters of their own procedure and the power to adjourn proceedings is generally discretionary (see Prassad v. Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration), 1989 CanLII 131 (SCC), [1989] 1 S.C.R. 560 at paragraph 48). As such, while courts do not show any deference on matters of procedural fairness, decisions granting or refusing adjournments are recognized as discretionary in nature.
