(1) Where a party applies for an adjournment of a hearing of an application, he or she must–
(a) if practicable, notify all other parties of the application for adjournment;
(b) show good reason why an adjournment is necessary; and
(c) produce evidence of any fact or matter relied upon in support of the application for adjournment.
(2) The Committee must not adjourn a hearing of an application at the request of any party unless satisfied that the application cannot otherwise be justly determined.
(3) The Committee must not, in particular, adjourn a hearing on the application of a party in order to allow the party more time to produce evidence, unless satisfied that–
(a) the evidence relates to a matter in dispute;
(b) it would be unjust to determine the case without permitting the party a further opportunity to produce the evidence; and
(c) where the party has failed to comply with directions for the production of the evidence, he or she has provided a satisfactory explanation for that failure.
