Availability for Court / annual leave

It is common in my practice that I have to provide dates of availability for Court listings.

I am currently dealing with an instructing solicitor who is insisting that holidays / leave are not a reason to be unavailable for Court. They have quoted the case of Matthews v Tarmac.
