The Washington Order of Continuance of Arbitration Hearing Date is a legal document issued by a court in the state of Washington that allows an arbitration hearing date to be continued, or postponed, to a later date. This document is typically issued when a party to the arbitration requests more time to prepare their case or when the court finds it necessary to delay the hearing. There are two types of Washington Order of Continuance of Arbitration Hearing Date — unconditional and conditional. An unconditional order of continuance is issued when a party requests more time to prepare, and the court agrees that the additional time is necessary. A conditional order of continuance is issued when the court finds it necessary to delay the hearing for some reason other than the party's request. The conditional order of continuance will specify the conditions that must be met before the hearing can proceed.
