A.Dear Client,
If you do not appear in court after receiving a summons, the court may issue a warrant for your arrest. This could lead to your arrest by the police, and you may be brought before the court. Failure to attend a court summons can be considered contempt of court, which is a serious offense. You may face fines, penalties, or even imprisonment for contempt. The court may proceed with the case in your absence and issue a judgment against you. This can result in adverse legal consequences, including fines, penalties, or other orders. If you have a valid reason for not attending the court summons (such as a medical emergency), it's essential to notify the court as soon as possible. Your lawyer can help you explore potential options, such as requesting a postponement or rescheduling of the court date, depending on the circumstances.
