Given the company claimant in the counter-claim was effectively unrepresented because its solicitor had sought to withdraw at the eleventh hour and was absent on trial day, and considering the history of repeated adjournments and apparent tactical delay, the court properly exercised its discretion under Order 35 RoC to refuse further adjournment, dismiss the counter-claim and award costs to the plaintiff.
