The court accepted defence counsel's representation that she only received notice on 31 October and, weighing the prejudice to the defendant from proceeding without prepared counsel against inconvenience to the plaintiff and court, exercised its discretion to adjourn the hearing and permit a supplemental affirmation with fixed timelines; costs of the aborted hearing were thrown away to be taxed.
