Canadian International Trade Tribunal Rules

26 (1) The Tribunal may, on its own initiative or on the request of a party, postpone or adjourn a hearing, and, in determining whether to grant the request, the Tribunal shall consider, in addition to any other relevant factors, whether a similar issue is being considered before another court whose determination could impact on the matter being heard, whether any prejudice would result if the postponement or adjournment were granted or not granted and whether a postponement or adjournment would unreasonably delay or impede the proceedings.

(2) A request for a postponement shall be made at least 10 days before the hearing and shall set out the reasons for the postponement.

(3) The Tribunal shall notify the parties of its decision under subrule (1).
