NewDefendant (None)     22 July 2010

What if Defendant cannot attend Court?

If a Defendant lives overseas and cannot attend court hearings then will that be held against him/her?

I have no relatives who can attend on my behalf either and do not want to impose upon my friends either.

What is the alternative for the Defendant in this case? Can the Defendant do a self examination or answer whatever questions the judge/Plaintiff's lawyer has, in writing/affidavit?

Also, I know this is a long shot but is it possible to for one party to attend a  court hearing by video conferencing - say by skype?! 

Thank you.

Dear

You can submit your defence in writing to the hon'ble court and send it through by post. The video conferncing system is not permitted in the normal course of proceedings you have to prove that you are unable to attend the examination and if court agree he can appoint such a person on behalf of court  to complete the proceedings.

Note your non appearence before the court will harm you and proceedings may continue as ex partee against you.

It is advisable to appoint a lawyer through your frnd who will lookafter on your behalf and communicate all the proceedings and line of action.

Non attendence of defendent no permitted, you have to appoint and advocate for day today matters but still for hearing you have to come otherwise it will be treated as you have no defense and suit will be decided against you. Take care.

I have a lawyer to attend the hearing.  But I am unable to attend court in person due to my health and also I live in London, so impossible to come there each time.
