summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
umpires jurisdiction adjournment of hearing
Summary:

It must be made clear that adjournments are the curse of the whole judicial process. Many times, they bring the system into disrepute. Peremptory hearings mean that the appeal is to proceed unless there are most unusual circumstances. None exist in this case.

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
umpires jurisdiction adjournment of hearing
Summary:

I can hardly accept the argument that an attorney is not available because of a heavy schedule; this does not constitute a valid reason to set aside the order of a judge to the effect that an appeal must be heard in a peremptory manner. The notice had been issued several weeks ago.
