To adjourn (move to the subsequent date) a Small Claims Court motion, settlement conference or trial, you need to facilitate all parties consent and file the consent with the court. Alternatively, you can attend the hearing date and ask the court for adjournment. If you do not have a sufficiently valid reason for Small Claims Court adjournment, the court may refuse to grant you an adjournment, and/ or may require you to pay legal costs to the other party.
