adjournment
In law, the postponement of the hearing of a case for later consideration. If a hearing is adjourned sine die (‘without day’) it is postponed for an indefinite period.
If a party requests an adjournment, the court may find the costs of the adjournment have been unnecessarily incurred and make an order for costs against that party.
