| (i) | there is good reason to do so; |
| (ii) | the application is in good faith; |
| (iii) | the application is made as soon as practicable; and |
| (iv) | the other parties to the dispute are not unduly prejudiced. |
| (c) | If a postponement will result in expiry of the 30-day period allowed for conciliation (in section 135), the party seeking the postponement must furnish the Council with written proof that the parties have agreed to extend the 30-day period. |
