What happens if a defendant doesn't show up to a civil case hearing?

Dear Questioner,

The court may issue a notice of default against the absent defendant. This notice informs the defendant of their failure to appear and provides a warning about the consequences of further non-compliance.

In some cases, even if the defendant is absent, the court may decide to proceed with the trial. The plaintiff may present their case, and the court may render a judgment based on the evidence presented.

However, it's important to note that this will depend on the specific circumstances and the discretion of the court.

If the defendant's absence is deemed deliberate or intentional, the court may consider it contempt of court. In such cases, the court has the authority to impose penalties or take further action against the absent defendant.

We can provide you with the services in order to go further with this case.

There is more information to be provided.
