Z.P. v. Guarantee Insurance (18-003753)

The claimant had requested an adjournment of a written hearing due to her counsel’s unanticipated medical leave. The LAT refused the adjournment. On reconsideration, Vice Chair Trojek granted the adjournment and set new dates for the written hearing. She wrote that the Tribunal relied too heavily on a strict adherence with its rules and failed to take into consideration the unforeseen and uncontrollable circumstances which were supported by documentary evidence.
