Legal analysis: 1. If the plaintiff or defendant fails to arrive at the designated trial place within the time specified in the summons, but the delay is less than 30 minutes, the collegial panel shall require the plaintiff to truthfully state the reasons for being late to the court. If it is unfair, it shall be reprimanded and allowed to enter the trial area and take a seat at the party's table. The collegial panel checks the identity of the parties. 2. If the plaintiff fails to arrive at the designated trial place according to the time specified in the summons and fails to appear in court for more than 30 minutes, our court will find out the relevant circumstances of the plaintiff's failure to appear in court. If there are legitimate reasons stipulated by law, the court will postpone the trial and set another date for the trial. If there is no justifiable reason, it shall be handled as if the plaintiff had withdrawn the lawsuit. The specific results will be notified separately. 3. If the defendant fails to appear in court within 30 minutes after the hearing, the collegial panel may judge the case by default if it considers that it will not affect the trial of the case; If you think that the facts of the case may not be ascertained, you can postpone the trial. 4. If the defendant appears in court before the end of the trial, the collegial panel shall ask him to state the reasons for being late after finding out the identity of the defendant. The collegial panel shall decide whether to allow him to participate in the trial according to whether the reasons are justified or not and the needs of the case, but shall admonish him if he fails to appear in court on time.
Legal basis: Article 144 of the Civil Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). If the defendant refuses to appear in court without justifiable reasons after being summoned by a summons, or withdraws from court halfway without the permission of the court, he may make a judgment by default.
