👉 In the context of legal proceedings, a "preadjournment" refers to an extended period of time during which parties or judges are not present in court. The purpose of this delay is often to allow for additional preparation or investigation before a trial begins. Preadjournments can be caused by various reasons such as scheduling conflicts, unforeseen circumstances that require further consideration, or legal deadlines. They may also occur due to the need to gather evidence or prepare for an unexpected witness or expert witness.
