753.22 When court to be held. If a matter appointed to be heard at a specified time is not heard at the time appointed, it stands continued and may be heard at any time, unless the court orders otherwise.
History: 1977 c. 449.
Several factors are to be balanced in the discretionary decision whether to grant a continuance, including: (1) the length of the delay requested; (2) whether the lead counsel has associates prepared to act in his or her absence; (3) whether other continuances had been requested and received; (4) the convenience or inconvenience to the parties, witnesses, and the court; and (5) whether the delay seems to be for legitimate reasons.
