ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
Notes:
1. Adjournment is when there is a temporary suspension of a hearing or
meeting to a specified later date and time. An Adjournment generally occurs
at the end of a hearing or meeting and is often used to break up long
meetings or to allow time for further preparation or research.
2. Postponement is when a hearing, meeting or decision is delayed to a later
date and/or time. It is not a recess but rather a formal decision to delay a
hearing, meeting or decision. A Postponement generally occurs before the
scheduled time of a hearing or meeting and is often used when there is a
need to reschedule something due to unforeseen circumstances or lack of
readiness.
3. Recess is when a meeting or hearing is set to take a break without
concluding. It is a formal decision to pause a meeting or hearing for a
specified period of time.
4. When an Adjournment, Postponement or Recess request is denied, the fee
will be refunded in full.
