Catchwords:

When considering requests for extension of time, the Board will take into account not only any reasons put forward but also the number of previous extensions (if any), the views of the other party or parties (if known), the effect of delays on other appeals pending before it and the general principle that all delays are to be avoided where possible. Similar considerations apply to requests to adjourn oral proceedings. In these cases however, the Board will also take account of the fact that, once a date has been accepted, exceptional reasons may be required to justify a postponement. (See Reasons, point 2.2)
