If you cannot appear in court on the scheduled date, notify the court and any relevant parties as soon as possible. Failure to appear in court without a valid reason can result in severe consequences, including a warrant being issued for your arrest, your case being dismissed, or a judgment being entered against you.

If you have a legitimate reason for not appearing in court, such as illness, injury, or a family emergency, you may request a postponement or adjournment of the hearing. In some cases, you may be able to appear in court remotely, such as by video conference or telephone.

Contact the court and any relevant parties as soon as possible if you cannot appear and provide any supporting documentation or evidence to support your request for a postponement or adjournment. If a lawyer represents you, you should also inform them of your situation and seek their advice on how to proceed.
