A HEARING about whether the Bahamas Doctors Union breached the Industrial Relations Act and will remain restrained from participating in a strike was adjourned yesterday.

Supreme Court Justice Ian Winder extended his injunction order until September 19, the new hearing date.

Trade Union Congress President Obie Ferguson requested the adjournment after telling the court he had too little time to prepare because of a trial that concluded just two hours before the hearing.

Under new terms, Mr Ferguson must file his response to the government by September 12 while government lawyers have until September 16 to file affidavits in response to the BDU.

The government was represented by David Higgins, the assistant director of legal affairs at the Office of the Attorney General.
