Q: Ud plaintiff's Judgment and writ/ def. defense breach of habitability. Aug 23. men stay = denied evicted August 2
did the trial court abuse its power of descreation by allowing trial to continue with an un-excused absence of plaintiff and a un prepared defendant?
A: Probably not. But you have not really given enough information.
A: Do you have a question? If so, plaint English would be helpful without abbreviations! More information might make an answer possible!
A:
Sorry - did not click on the details.
Questions: I do not see how trial could even start without the plaintiff being present. In small claims that would mean a dismissal of the case. But why were you unprepared? Did you not receive notice of the suit by personal service and notice of the trial date if you answered?
