Adjournment refused. The plaintiff caused or contributed to the late revocation of his legal aid by failing to update his means in time and by late disclosure of a settlement; no exceptional circumstances justified varying the milestone trial date; defendant would suffer real prejudice (witness availability, substantial irrecoverable costs) and could not be adequately compensated; the plaintiff can proceed in person and had rejected modest assistance options, so discretion to adjourn was not exercised.
