Definition for Continuance:

• The postponement of a hearing, trial or other scheduled court proceeding, at the request of one or both parties, or by the judge without consulting them. Unhappiness with long trial court delays has resulted in the adoption by most states of " fast track" rules that sharply limit the ability of judges to grant continuances.
