When an appointment or a deadline has been rescheduled, it is known as getting a <u>continuance</u> in the legal environment.
<h3>What is Continuance ?</h3>
Continuance is what a court may grant to delay proceedings until a later date. Parties in a suit or the judge themselves may wish to have a continuance granted in order to prepare for proceedings.
Sometimes, statutes specifically delineate when continuances should be granted, but typically, judges have a lot of discretion to grant cases before a verdict has been given.
Continuances are similar to both postponements and stays of proceedings. Postponements also delay proceedings for different reasons, but postponements usually only delay until another date within the current term of the court, unlike continuances that may be extended to another term. Stays of proceedings delay trial until an unspecified date that depends on something occurring such as the verdict being reached in a related case.
Therefore, we can conclude that the correct option is D.
