The court granted relief from sanctions and adjourned the trial because the claimant produced credible medical evidence of unforeseen mental and physical incapacity and, as the claimant was a principal factual witness, fairness and the interests of justice justified postponing the trial; parity with an earlier adjournment for the defendant's medical condition reinforced the conclusion that special circumstances existed to change the trial date.
