ET refused postponement of a large scale hearing after counsel for one of the parties was incapacitated for medical reasons.
Held, allowing the appeal, that the ET had erred in treating the position as if there was no medical evidence in circumstances where there was an unequivocal summary of the position from an officer of the court which was agreed by both sides, and an undertaking to provide the medical evidence in short order.
