Given the late stage of the O.67 r.6 application, the applicant's disclosure of correspondence relating to the adjournment request (thereby waiving privilege over that subject matter), the potential prejudice to the Plaintiff and impact on trial dates, and binding authority that affidavits under O.67 r.6 are not privileged once before the court, the judge exercised his discretion to permit the Plaintiff access to the affirmation and to be heard on the application; any genuinely confidential material not relevant to the adjournment may be edited after submissions.
